Running a specific test?

[olalonde]

make test-parallel is taking a long time. Is it possible to just run a single test while I'm developing? I'm only modifying JS files in ./lib.

If you want to run a single test file, you can run ./tools/test.py test/parallel/test-whatever-test.js. You can also use wildcards like ./tools/test.py test/parallel/test-fs-*.

Node that make test-parallel runs tests one by one by default, what you probably want is make jstest -j12 (replace 12 by whatever value works for your system, I have a 16-core CPU so that's what I use).
