It enables all the tests at and under its directory. This special treatment can be inhibited by specifying the target type explicitly (for example, \c{dir{foo/\}}). +The test execution time can be limited using the \c{config.test.timeout} +variable. Its value has the \c{<operation-timeout>/<test-timeout>} form where +the timeouts are specified in seconds and either of them (but not both) can be +omitted. The left hand side sets the timeout for the whole \c{test} operation +and the right hand side \- for individual tests. The zero value clears the +previously set timeout. For example: + +\ +b test config.test.timeout=20 # Test operation. +b test config.test.timeout=20/5 # Test operation and individual tests. +b test config.test.timeout=/5 # Individual tests. +\ + +The test timeout can be specified on multiple nested root scopes. For example, +we can specify a greater timeout for the entire build configuration and lesser +ones for individual projects. The tests must complete before the nearest of +the enclosing scope timeouts. Failed that, the timed out tests are terminated +forcibly causing the entire \c{test} operation to fail.
