From bed6022ed1076803d89260762dd4d90e639f2756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:08:21 -0400 Subject: test: allow user to choose which emacs to run tests with. As we start to pay more attention to emacs24, it helps to be able to select a different version of emacs to run the tests with to verify version specific bugs. A separate variable TEST_EMACS is needed to avoid being overwritten by the make variable EMACS in Makefile.config For what it's worth, the value of emacs is chosen at the time tmp.emacs/run_emacs is created, so is fixed for all subtests. --- test/README | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'test/README') diff --git a/test/README b/test/README index 7b2e96d4..bde6db0c 100644 --- a/test/README +++ b/test/README @@ -56,6 +56,13 @@ can be specified as follows: make test OPTIONS="--verbose" +You can choose an emacs binary to run the tests in one of the +following ways. + + TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs make test + TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs ./emacs + make test TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs + Skipping Tests -------------- If, for any reason, you need to skip one or more tests, you can do so -- cgit v1.2.3
