Hi Elijah I'm worryingly excited by this series On 13/10/2020 00:26, Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget wrote:
This patch series enables me to change ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=1-3,5,17,19 into ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=setup,rename,symlink and have it pick out tests with "setup", "rename", or "symlink" in their description and run those. Saves me a lot of time, especially since numbers for tests aren't readily accessible. The easiest way for me to get the numbers corresponding to the tests I want to run, is to run all the tests and look at the output to match up the descriptions with their numbers -- thus defeating the point of selecting just a subset of the tests to run in the first place.
Yes it's a real pain to have to run all the tests to find the numbers of the ones you actually wanted to run. I like patch 3 as well, without it if you're only running a couple of tests it can be hard to find then amongst all the skipped tests. I had a quick read of the patches and they looked fine to me.
