Update `help` option in `runTests.py`

Open syclik opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Summary:

The help option is slightly out-of-date.

Description:

It currently points to the Math library repo at the end of the help message. That should point to Stan. Perhaps update it to point to the wiki page on testing instead?

Reproducible Steps:

From the command line:

$ ./runTests.py -h

Current Output:

$ ./runTests.py -h

usage: runTests.py [-h] [-j N] [-f F [F ...]] [-d] [-m] [--run-all]
                   tests [tests ...]

Generate and run stan math library tests.

positional arguments:
  tests            The path(s) to the test case(s) to run.
                   Example: 'test/unit', 'test/prob', and/or
                            'test/unit/math/prim/scal/fun/abs_test.cpp'

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -j N             number of cores for make to use
  -f F [F ...]     Only tests with file names matching these will be executed.
                   Example: '-f chol', '-f gpu', '-f prim mat'
  -d, --debug      request additional script debugging output.
  -m, --make-only  Don't run tests, just try to make them.
  --run-all        Don't stop at the first test failure, run all of them.
