[PATCH v2] tests/acceptance: allow control over tags during check-acceptance
Posted by Willian Rampazzo 2 years, 9 months ago
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

I always wanted that feature, thanks for implementing it!

If I run `AVOCADO_TAGS="machine:malta arch:mips" make check-acceptance` 
it is going to get the tests with 'machine:malta' *or* 'arch:mips' tags, 
whereas with AVOCADO_TAGS="machine:malta,arch:mips" it gets those with 
'machine:malta' *and* 'arch:mips', i.e., the semantic is different. I 
think it deserves a mention in the docs/devel/testing.rst, maybe linking 
to Avocado's doc [1] as well.

I'm glad it is helpful.

Okay, that is fair. I'll summarize something in the testing
documentation and point to the Avocado doc to avoid duplication.

Thanks for testing and reviewing.
