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. Changes since v3: * Added text to the README explaining what to do if the substring you want to search on includes a comma or whitespace (namely, use the '?' glob character instead) Elijah Newren (3): test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --run t6006, t6012: adjust tests to use 'setup' instead of synonyms test-lib: reduce verbosity of skipped tests t/README | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------- t/t0000-basic.sh | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- t/t6006-rev-list-format.sh | 2 +- t/t6012-rev-list-simplify.sh | 2 +- t/test-lib.sh | 17 +++++++++------ 5 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) base-commit: d98273ba77e1ab9ec755576bc86c716a97bf59d7 Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-git-878%2Fnewren%2Ftest-selection-v4 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-git-878/newren/test-selection-v4 Pull-Request: https://github.com/git/git/pull/878 Range-diff vs v3: 1: 9c8b6a1a94 ! 1: 8f5d4ad318 test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --run @@ t/README: For an individual test suite --run could be used to specify that +numbers separated with a dash and matches a range of tests with both +ends been included. You may omit the first or the second number to +mean "from the first test" or "up to the very last test" respectively. ++ ++The argument to --run is split on commas and whitespace into separate ++strings, numbers, and ranges, and picks all tests that match any of ++the individual selection criteria. If the substring of the ++description text that you want to match includes a comma or space, use ++the glob character '?' instead. For example --run='unnecessary?update ++timing' would match on all tests that match either the glob ++*unnecessary?update* or the glob *timing*. If --run starts with an unprefixed number or range the initial set of tests to run is empty.
