Hello,
Yes, what you describe is possible, though (as with most things
cartesian related) not entirely obvious. The trick here is to setup
variant shortnames that include the test filters, then reference the
shortnames from the command-line. For example (using letters as
simplified variant names):
variants:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- X:
- Y:
- Z:
# shortnames
variants:
@one:
only A B C
@two:
only X Y Z
Assuming there aren't any other top-level filters active (i.e. comment
out the default 'only qemu_kvm_f16_quick'). You just have to write
something like the '#shortnames' block above. Then, pass 'only=one' as
a command-line argument to autotest on the first run, then 'only=two' on
the second run. The effect will be running A, B, and C the first time,
then X,Y and Z the second time. You're free to define the shortnames
however you want, and/or including application of the other filters at
that level.
I'm sure you're head is spinning now, but I did actually try the above
and it works. Otherwise, you may ease the symptoms of
Cartesian-Configuration syndrome with a cup of coffee/tea and a read
through the new wiki docs on 'Cartesian Configuration'. Shameless-plug:
I wrote the docs, so please let me know your feedback :)
N.B. We know the inter-document links are broken :(
