Thanks. This definitely seems like an improvement. I verified that it works in practice, and the patch itself looks obviously correct. One of the things I had to double check is how to_skip is handled, since we check it in the moved block. It's fine, but I wondered if the whole thing would be easier as an if/else cascade with an early return. Like the patch below (on top of your patch; try "diff -w" to quiet the indentation noise). But maybe it's not worth the churn (and if we pursue it at all, it should not hold up your patch). -Peff diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh index 24b541f494..a1784114cb 100644 --- a/t/test-lib.sh +++ b/t/test-lib.sh @@ -993,49 +993,38 @@ test_finish_ () { } test_skip () { - to_skip= skipped_reason= if match_pattern_list $this_test.$test_count $GIT_SKIP_TESTS then - to_skip=t skipped_reason="GIT_SKIP_TESTS" - fi - if test -z "$to_skip" && test -n "$run_list" && + elif test -n "$run_list" && ! match_test_selector_list '--run' $test_count "$run_list" then - to_skip=t skipped_reason="--run" - fi - if test -z "$to_skip" && test -n "$test_prereq" && + elif + if test -n "$test_prereq" && ! test_have_prereq "$test_prereq" then - to_skip=t - of_prereq= if test "$missing_prereq" != "$test_prereq" then of_prereq=" of $test_prereq" fi skipped_reason="missing $missing_prereq${of_prereq}" + else + return 1 fi - case "$to_skip" in - t) - if test -n "$write_junit_xml" - then - message="$(xml_attr_encode "$skipped_reason")" - write_junit_xml_testcase "$1" \ - " <skipped message=\"$message\" />" - fi + if test -n "$write_junit_xml" + then + message="$(xml_attr_encode "$skipped_reason")" + write_junit_xml_testcase "$1" \ + " <skipped message=\"$message\" />" + fi - say_color skip >&3 "skipping test: $@" - say_color skip "ok $test_count # skip $1 ($skipped_reason)" - : true - ;; - *) - false - ;; - esac + say_color skip >&3 "skipping test: $@" + say_color skip "ok $test_count # skip $1 ($skipped_reason)" + return 0 } # stub; perf-lib overrides it

With './t1234-foo.sh -r 5,6' we can run only specific test cases in a test script, but our test framwork still evaluates all lazy prereqs that the excluded test cases might depend on. This is unnecessary and produces verbose and trace output that can be distracting. This has been an issue ever since the '-r|--run=' options were introduced in 0445e6f0a1 (test-lib: '--run' to run only specific tests, 2014-04-30), because that commit added the check of the list of test cases specified with '-r' after evaluating the prereqs. Avoid this unnecessary prereq evaluation by checking the list of test cases specified with '-r' before looking at the prereqs. Note that GIT_SKIP_TESTS has always been checked before the prereqs, so prereqs necessary for tests skipped that way were not evaluated.
