[test] How do run a specific test suite?

[Christian Henning]

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*

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.

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

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:

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.

This is the right place to look for help on the subject.

Please let me know if you still having problems.
