doc/fate: add note about showing test names and running a tests subset

parent 706f1299
......@@ -79,6 +79,21 @@ Do not put a '~' character in the samples path to indicate a home
directory. Because of shell nuances, this will cause FATE to fail.
@end float
To get the complete list of tests, run the command:
@example
make fate-list
@end example
You can specify a subset of tests to run by specifying the
corresponding elements from the list with the @code{fate-} prefix,
e.g. as in:
@example
make fate-ffprobe_compact fate-ffprobe_xml
@end example
This makes it easier to run a few tests in case of failure without
running the complete test suite.
To use a custom wrapper to run the test, pass @option{--target-exec} to
@command{configure} or set the @var{TARGET_EXEC} Make variable.
