Plone.app.testing - rolemap from an other addon not loaded in Tests?

my.otheraddon contain a rolemap.xml with a role "Tester". I load this in the layer method setUpPloneSite - but the role from the package 'my.otheraddon' is not available. is this the wrong way in tests? or what is missing? does anybody know more?

    layer = MY_ADDON_INTEGRATION_TESTING

    def setUp(self):

        self.portal = self.layer["portal"]

    def test_roles(self):
        """Test roles."""
        # Fails! Why?
        # The Role 'Tester' is in the rolemap.xml        
        self.assertTrue('Tester' in portal.valid_roles())
        
       # print(portal.valid_roles()) --> ('Anonymous', 'Authenticated', 'Contributor', 'Editor', 'Manager', 'Member', 'Owner', 'Reader', 'Reviewer', 'Site Administrator')    

You need to load the GenericSetup profile of your package in the Layer:

from plone.app.testing import applyProfile
# ...
    def setUpPloneSite(self, portal):
        applyProfile(portal, "my.addon:default")

Also, you do not need to load the plone.app.contenttypes ZCML, this was already done by the layer used.
And: Do only load your own ZCML here and ensure your main configure ZCML explicitly loads the my.otheraddon ZCML. (Same for profiles: those should be loaded in your profiles metadata.xml )
