how to run specific tests?

[jwaldmann]

Is there a way to select tests for execution? I was thinking of

stack  --resolver=nightly test --test-arguments='*VF*' --file-watch

(https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tasty allows patterns, microspec probably does not)

I have this work-around now

stack  --resolver=nightly exec -- ghcid -c ghci -W -T"microspec Sound.Tidal.ParamsTest.run" -- -isrc:test  Sound.Tidal.ParamsTest

which seems good enough.

Put something like this in CONTRIBUTING?

something for cabal would be nice. On the other side, the number of tests is not that big, to slow down the testing process

AFAICT, tidal is the only project on hackage to use microspec, and it hasn't been updated in over 6 years.. If we want missing features, we should probably move to a more standard test framework.
