Description

Depreciated according to: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/sections/env/options/library/lib_extra_dirs.html

As per this there is no way to keep adding a directory of cpp for example.

The specific application for ourselves is adding nested test files in the test directory to the build path so that we get code insights in Clion.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the deprecated lib extra dirs implementation and design a new option for adding local directories, or extend lib deps to accept directory paths.
