You can pass the name of a particular test case (or a few) to run just those tests. For example: - $ ./tests/tests.sh test_basic + $ ./tests/tests.sh posix/basic If you need to update the reference snapshot, pass `--update`. It can be handy to generate the snapshot with a different `find` implementation to ensure the output is correct, for example: - $ ./tests/tests.sh test_basic --bfs=find --update + $ ./tests/tests.sh posix/basic --bfs=find --update But keep in mind, other `find` implementations may not be correct. To my knowledge, no other implementation passes even the POSIX-compatible subset of the tests: $ ./tests/tests.sh --bfs=find --posix ... - tests passed: 89 - tests failed: 5 + tests passed: 90 + tests skipped: 3 + tests failed: 6 Run |
