[test] How do run a specific test suite?
Hi there, I believe I once read that one can specify test suite to be run as a command line parameter. By default all test suites are running, but, the user should be able to specify one in the case there are several suites. I've tried to look up that information inside the boost::test documentation but couldn't find it. Am I wrong that such functionality exists? Regards, Christian

Excellent point.

afaik, this functionality doesn't exist however you can do command line globbing: ./my_unit_tests.exe --run_test=test_feature* Regards, Ahmed

Actually thinking more about it and looking again at the documentation, you can use the globbing and "/" to pick particular test cases/test suites You can do: ./my_unit_tests.exe --run_test=test_suite_1/* hope this is useful. Regards, Ahmed

I believe this won't execute anything. This ./my_unit_tests.exe --run_test=/test_suite_1* will do. Dmitry

I'm not quite sure, but the following link details different test selection scenarios, I believe the one before the last can be used to accomplish what Christian wants to do: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/runti... Regards, Ahmed

Here's what I do to run all the tests for a specific library - in particular for the serialization library on my local machine. cd c:\boostrelease\libs\serialization\test ../../../tools/regression/src/library_test.sh (or bat) The presumes that the library_status program has been built.

I believe he asked how to run the test suite inside the test module, not the tests belonging to particular library inside the Boost.Build. Gennadiy
