From 23022794dee93f7bc3213e42cb613c4fc78b90ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willian Rampazzo Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 13:11:39 -0300 Subject: tests/Makefile: allow control over tags during check-acceptance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Although it is possible to run a specific test using the avocado command-line, a user may want to use a specific tag while running the ``make check-acceptance`` during the development or debugging. This allows using the AVOCADO_TAGS environment variable where the user takes total control of which tests should run based on the tags defined. This also makes the check-acceptance command flexible to restrict tests based on tags while running on CI. e.g.: AVOCADO_TAGS="foo bar baz" make check-acceptance Signed-off-by: Willian Rampazzo Tested-by: Wainer dos Santos Moschetta Reviewed-by: Wainer dos Santos Moschetta Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé Message-Id: <20210923161141.232208-2-willianr@redhat.com> --- docs/devel/testing.rst | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/devel') diff --git a/docs/devel/testing.rst b/docs/devel/testing.rst index 4a0abbf..d1841e3 100644 --- a/docs/devel/testing.rst +++ b/docs/devel/testing.rst @@ -732,6 +732,20 @@ available.
