Re: Running tests for a single program in src/bin, src/usr.bin, etc

Hi Alan,

That worked. Thank you!

I do still think it would be nice to be able to run tests in isolation, like `make test`. It seems like ideally you could test the individual binary without installing it to the system, in case there are issues.

Is there a way I can be in /usr/src/bin/rmdir and just run a succesful `make test` (or equivalent) without some combination of `make install` + kyua out of /usr/tests? Seems like for self-contained tests, simple testing should be possible.
