Possible to execute a single test function from within a test file containing several? #1616

Closed dlumma closed 6 years ago

dlumma commented 6 years ago

Hi There,

I am wondering if I can instruct ava to execute a single test function defined in a file which contains several test functions. Is this possible and if so, how would I do this?

Thanks, -Denali

The only way around this I can find is to use Visual Studio Code "Toggle Line Comment" after selecting all of the tests I don't currently want to run. This seems sub-optimal.

Other advances test frameworks like nose for python have support for single test execution by specifying: module name.class name:function name

Might be worth considering as a new feature.

You can use the --match flag.

Yes, just discovered this. Thanks! (Apologies for the obvious question.)
