Hmm, I wonder if it doesn't have permission to write to the /modules directory on the CI environment?

I looked at trying to export a Feature to /tmp programatically, but we won't have any way currently to override that. Even setting the $package['directory'] in the test doesn't work because the directory is regenerated by PrepareFiles.

So, we either need a global path override, or a package specific override for the path if that is the issue with the test.

I'm surprised it doesn't give us the custom messages for the failing tests though. I added those to determine exactly which assert is failing, but all the CI says is "Failed asserting that false is true." which is very annoying. So hard to determine what's actually failing.
