Intern - define different commands / arguments to run different tests

Question

I have a project with 2 functional Suites, the structure is like this:

- /tests
--- /sign
------ sign.js
--- /buy
------ buy.js
--- intern.js
- /node_modules
- ....

On my intern.js I have this

//...
functionalSuites: [ 'tests/sign/sign', 'tests/buy/buy'],  
//...

And to run the test intern-runner config=tests/intern

So far so good, 2/2 tests passed.

I would like to know if it's possible to pass some arguments to execute only a part of the functionalSuites

ex:

intern-runner config=tests/intern --sign

And somehow it would run only the functionalSuite tests/sign/sign

And if I pass intern-runner config=tests/intern --all it would run all functionalSuite tests.

Thank you

You should use the grep parameter introduced in Intern 2.1 release announce. With grep you can target one specific test or a class of tests depending on your naming convention.

In our case, the functionSuites settings contains only 'test/functional/**/* to be sure that no functional test is forgotten by the CI process. And we use the grep attribute during the script development.

The simple solution is: intern-runner config=tests/intern functionalSuites=test/sign/sign

The more complicated (but good for long term) is to write a filter function by yourself (hmm, maybe you can make a request to https://github.com/theintern/intern?). We do have our custom filter, but it's too complicated to write down here. If you make a request to Intern, maybe I will try to spend sometime to make a pullrequest for it (or maybe someone else) Anyway the result I get is:

(I have 2 files named file1_func.js, file2_func.js and some more files)

-f is my custom filter, you will not find it in Intern. But I guess you can try with functionalSuites
