Feature request : allow overriding variables #202

Open NicolasGuary opened 8 months ago

NicolasGuary commented 8 months ago

Would it be possible to implement a mechanism that allows to override a variable ? In our current setup we need to select specific tests in the CI and pass them variables using CLI, which is not really maintainable with a lot of test cases...

Thank you!
