Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-11731:
-------------------------------------

Alternatively, since we currently rely on test files being named like 
"**/*_test.rb", we could document that and then make the test list a comma 
separated list.

run just the admin tests:

{{mvn -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=admin}}

run both the normal admin and security admin tests:

{{mvn -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=admin,security_admin}}

run just the tests for shell itself:
 Perhaps something like a regex to match the shell test files?:

run just the admin tests:

{{mvn -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=hbase/admin_test.rb}}

run both normal admin and security admin tests:

{{mvn -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=hbase/*admin_test.rb}}

run just the tests for the shell itself:

{{mvn -Dtest=TestShell -Dshell.test=commands,formatter,noninteractive,shell}}

That last one is uglier if I don't want to know the list ahead of time, since I 
need to do a list and then a sed.

A disadvantage of this approach is that it presumes there won't be a file name 
conflict in the test subdirectories.

> Add option to only run a subset of the shell tests

> Right now, contributors to the shell can limit testing to just the shell 
> tests but there's no way to limit to just a subset of them.
> It would be nice if I could just run the test for the thing I'm changing.
