Try to chaange to:
--- begin---
config BR2_PACKAGE_TEST
	bool "test"
	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_KODI
	help
	  test

comment "test needs kodi"
	depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_KODI
--- end ---

And check for the following entry in your .config file (after enabling your new test package):

BR2_PACKAGE_TEST=y

And for multiple runs remove the already build test package:

	rm -rf build/test-3.0.15
