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 v5: * Update comment to match the code (selectors are now only split on commas, not on whitespace) 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 | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++------------ t/t0000-basic.sh | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------- t/t6006-rev-list-format.sh | 2 +- t/t6012-rev-list-simplify.sh | 2 +- t/test-lib.sh | 21 ++++++++------ 5 files changed, 76 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) base-commit: d98273ba77e1ab9ec755576bc86c716a97bf59d7 Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-git-878%2Fnewren%2Ftest-selection-v6 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-git-878/newren/test-selection-v6 Pull-Request: https://github.com/git/git/pull/878 Range-diff vs v5: 1: 389c2c171a ! 1: 0355c88882 test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --run @@ t/test-lib.sh: match_pattern_list () { title="$1" shift arg="$1" -@@ t/test-lib.sh: match_test_selector_list () { + shift + test -z "$1" && return 0 - # Both commas and whitespace are accepted as separators. +- # Both commas and whitespace are accepted as separators. ++ # Commas are accepted as separators.
