#4389 closed Feature Requests (fixed)
Enable boost_test to run specific tests with any required dependent tests.

Description
Currently boost_test allows specific test suites and tests to be run using the flag --run_test=suite/test or --run_test=suite/* etc.
If test suite B depends on test suite A then --run_test=B/* will not run any tests as the dependency on A prevents B from running.
I would suggest the introduction of a new flag --allow_dependent_test=true (default false) to preserve current behavior but to allow the targeted running of specific tests along with their dependencies in the future.
