On Windows, running ./mach build is required for tests to get copied into the object directory. On my machine this takes a solid minute+ on my machine for a no-op build. It probably makes sense to move this into ./mach build faster (which does not currently copy over tests).

Interestingly, this never happens to me. When I modify an xpcshell test, mochitest (all flavors), it reflects in dist when I run ./mach test ... or ./mach xpcshell-test .... Actually, it's doing the check all the time and makes the test start quite slow.

As far as I know we install tests whenever running them, can you post the exact sequence of commands you're running that will reproduce the issue?

Sorry about the false alarm. I thought I had verified that ./mach test wasn't copying the test but I guess I was wrong.
