From: Simon Glass Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2022 01:47:13 +0000 (-0600) Subject: test: Add a way to detect a test that breaks another X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1b46595700b063faaec3e33f5754642e68b3d8f;p=u-boot.git test: Add a way to detect a test that breaks another When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a subsequent test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm' or similar. Add a new argument which allows a particular (failing) test to be run immediately after a certain number of tests have run. This allows the test causing the failure to be determined. Update the documentation also.
