#4389 closed Feature Requests (fixed)

Enable boost_test to run specific tests with any required dependent tests.

Reported by: roger.wilson@… Owned by: Gennadiy Rozental
Milestone: Boost 1.59.0 Component: test
Version: Boost 1.44.0 Severity: Optimization
Keywords: Cc:

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.
