Improve documentation for running unit tests
The documentation on Contributing has some basic information about running the unit tests. However, it would be helpful to extend that to cover situations such as:
- Running individual tests rather than all tests
- Running only the CPU, GPU, or Python tests rather than all tests
For example, this will run only the CPU unit tests from the Builtins suite:
tests/cpu/test_cpu_exec --run_only Builtins
And this will run just Python test:
python3 ../tests/python/OpenColorIOTestSuite.py $PWD
To just run one category of unit test, it might be simpler to stick with ctest:
# Get the list of tests
ctest -N
# Run individual tests examples
ctest -V -R test_cpu
ctest -V -R test_gpu
ctest -V -R test_python
But to reach individual tests within a group, I think we have to use our executable directly with --run_only like Doug showed.
Great @drewavisautodesk - assigning it to you :) let us know if you have questions!
