Hello all.
I have some "tests.py" with two test classes I called MuxTest and NoMuxTest.
I want to run tests from MuxTest several times with different options, while tests from NoMuxTest should be run only once (they don't have any parameters for change).
I'm able to do it with python avocado interface using Job/TestSuite:
dict_variants.py:
```
import sys
from avocado.core.job import Job
from avocado.core.suite import TestSuite
MUX_CONFIG = {
"resolver.references": ["tests.py:MuxTest"],
"run.dict_variants.variant_id_keys": ["dut"],
"run.dict_variants": [
{"dut": "rpi-arm-v7l"},
{"dut": "de0-nano-soc"},
{"dut": "stm32mp15x"}
],
}
NOMUX_CONFIG = {
"resolver.references": ["tests.py:NoMuxTest"],
}
with Job(
test_suites=[
TestSuite.from_config(MUX_CONFIG, name="mux"),
TestSuite.from_config(NOMUX_CONFIG, name="nomux"),
]
) as j:
sys.exit(j.run())
```
It works like expected. When running dict_variants.py I get:
```
$ ./dict_variants.py

```
mtda.py:MuxTest.test_hw is run 3 times with different parameters, while mtda.py:NoMuxTest.test_nomux is run only once.
My question is the following:
- Is it possible to achieve the same behaviour using avocado's command line interface (e.g. "avocado run mtda.py ...")?
I tried to experiment, but either variants applied for both tests (so, I have 6 runs totally), or to none (so I have 2 runs).
