From 255c1c7279abf991113e7c9c29f91e9f1a5776a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Bates Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 17:38:40 -0500 Subject: tc-testing: Allow test cases to be skipped By adding a check for an optional key/value pair to the test case data, individual test cases may be skipped to prevent tdc from aborting a test run due to setup or teardown failure. If a test case is skipped, it will still appear in the results output to allow for a consistent number of executed tests in each run. However, the test will be marked as skipped. This support for skipping extends to any plugins that may generate additional results for each executed test. Signed-off-by: Lucas Bates Signed-off-by: David S.
