[Swift-devel] Test suite group status and display

[Michael Wilde]

Im looking for from a way for users to see what tests are available, and which are reasonable to run in different settings and for various purposes. This should assist new users in initial testing and validation of their environment, as well as experienced users in knowing what tests are available and working (or not).

Would it be useful to have an option to nightly.sh to display all the directories below tests/ that represent valid test groups?

Something like: ./nighly.sh -g

com$ find providers -type d | grep -v svn
providers
providers/local-pbs
providers/local-pbs/pads
providers/local-pbs/queenbee
providers/local-cobalt
providers/local-cobalt/surveyor
providers/local-cobalt/intrepid
providers/ssh
providers/sge-local
providers/local
providers/local-pbs-coasters
providers/ssh-pbs-coasters
com$ 

Would it be useful to put a status file in each group dir to help identify what dirs are really groups, and what the current status of those tests are?

- Mike
