Description Mariano Lopez 2016-07-26 20:58:59 UTC
The autobuilder takes a lot of time to execute a single run of oe-selftest. Sometimes there is just need to run a subset of tests and overriding what test to execute (-r option) would speed up the testing. A field in the autobuilders to override the -r option might be the solution for this.

unable to plan this for 2.3, setting it for future.
Comment 2 Aaron Chan 2020-04-28 20:31:09 UTC
Since autobuilder2 was introduce, there are options to include the oe-selftest with -r option thru the customize template. This is one of the option if required to run specific tests.

Not clear how this would be configured using the UI.
A good idea but not practical.
