Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.6 Severity: normal Hi,
from here: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/raw/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst it says: > Features: feature-name [, another-feature-name ...] > Declares some additional capabilities or good properties of the > tests defined in this stanza. Any unknown features declared will be > completely ignored. See below for the defined features. > > Features are separated by commas and/or whitespace. then further below under "defined features" it says: > test-name > Set an explicit test name for the log heading and the ``summary`` file > for a ``Test-Command:`` inline test. When not given, these are > enumerated like ``command1``. But this does not explain the syntax of how a test name is actually specified. Does one just write it in the Features field? Or is it test-name:thename or does one have to quote something? Please document what the right syntax is. My use case: I have a test that uses Test-Command but the output becomes hard to understand if tests are just named command1, command2 and so forth. Thus I want to give them meaningful names. Unfortunately under "Test-Command" it also says "This is mutually exclusive with the ``Tests:`` field". Is there a practical reason why these fields are mutually exclusive? Naively, I would've expected, that when Test-Command is given, then it doesn't look for a script but instead executes the command but that it anyways takes the test name from the "Tests" field. It seems unnecessarily complicated to require the test-name feature thing. Thanks! cheers, josch
