[GRASS-dev] Setting region in tests

[Luí­s Moreira de Sousa]

Dear all,

I am parking PR #3903 for the time being as I exhausted the options to set the region. I tried in the test methods, in the setUpClass method, with different instructions, but all seems to be over-ridden at some point. I leave here two points for reflection on this matter, let me know if they should be transformed into issues.

- As it stands there are no instructions on region set-up for the unit tests. Perhaps a more general update to docs/wiki is necessary, but some guidance on the region would be particularly helpful. For now only the existing tests provide some clues [0], but I haven't managed to successfully test r.out.gdal with the same strategies.
- It is not possible to replicate the region management happening at CI/CD time in the development environment. This forces the constant reliance on the CI/CD, with all the extra time costs it implies. It would be very helpful if there is some way to approximate further the development environment to CI/CD testing environment.

Thank you.
