My comment you are quoting should applies to Platform::Install, not your test. I don't think there's anything special you should need to do in the test to make this work remotely. However, trying to copy a symlink to a remote system and expecting it will make sense there does not sound like a reasonable thing to do. That's why I created that bug, as I think it exposes a bug on our side (i.e. debugging a symlinked executable remotely will just not work).

I already added this decorator, so you can drop this diff. It would be ideal if the test worked remotely as well, but it seems the test fails due to reasons which are completely outside of the scope of your original patch.

Btw, you are right that the symlink does get created -- I was looking at the wrong implementation of CreateSymlink(). I'll update the bug accordingly.
