Here we are supposed to be using submodules that point to some test beamline repos but the submodules no longer exist.

We need a test like this - but using submodules is not great as we now recommend --recursive when cloning generic IOCs and that does not want to retrieve loads of modules not used in development.

This needs a re-think. Having a list of repos to clone during the test is probably the way to go.

Or an alternative way of validating runtime asset generation. Do note that this is tested for services repositories when they are pushed - but that is not adequate as we want an early warning that ibek-support is broken and would break services repositories when they update to latest ibek-support.
