Hi Chris
Thanks a lot for the information. I tried to do the steps you wrote below
but that somehow does not seem to work for me, I am pretty sure I am
missing something.
The documents are really good but since I am really new I still don't know
all the options that are in the KVM autotest and KVM itself, kindly excuse
me for asking silly question. So just for my try I tried to use the steps
below to run the qemu_f16_quick.
So I created a variant
-one : (this has all the options that are in the qemu_f16_quick in
tests.cfg)
then I created
-@qemu_quick:
only one
and at the command line I specified
only=qemu_quick
then when I run the ../../common_lib/cartesian_config.py tests.cfg
I get a lot of dict for other linux releases in autotests whereas in
reality it should just show
dict 1: e1000.Fedora.16.64.unattended_install.cdrom
dict 2: e1000.Fedora.16.64.boot
dict 3: e1000.Fedora.16.64.shutdown
I am missing something .... just dont know what.

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 :(
