Bug 1316533

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1295704 +++

Description of problem:

Sometimes it is useful to have a test in test repo but not execute in regression runs.

Reasons could be:
1. Test is not deterministic enough or corrupts environment etc.
2. We don't have a fix yet but the test is already there.


tests/bad_tests serves as the directory where we can send type 1 tests mentioned above. You can use "git mv" to move the .t file from its current place to tests/bad_tests. Make sure you file a bug on the test file and use that for mv patch.

tests/known_bugs serves as the directory where we can send type 2 tests mentioned above. You can use "git mv" to move the .t file from its current place to tests/known_bugs or add a new .t file directly under tests/known_bugs. Make sure you file a bug for the bug you have discovered and use that for mv/add patch.

COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/13393 committed in master by Raghavendra Talur (rtalur) 
------
commit f6e5bc68d294cc67f1e7f4db043d2531d4cfec80
Author: Raghavendra Talur <rtalur>

    tests: Add mechanism for disabled tests
    
    Requirements:
    Should be able to skip tests from run-tests.sh run.
    Should be granular enough to disable on subset of OSes.
    
    Solution:
    Tests can have special comment lines with some comma separated values
    within them.
    
    Key names used to determine test status are
    G_TESTDEF_TEST_STATUS_CENTOS6
    G_TESTDEF_TEST_STATUS_NETBSD7
    Some examples:
    G_TESTDEF_TEST_STATUS_CENTOS6=BAD_TEST,BUG=123456
    G_TESTDEF_TEST_STATUS_NETBSD7=KNOWN_ISSUE,BUG=4444444
    G_TESTDEF_TEST_STATUS_CENTOS6=BAD_TEST,BUG=123456;555555
    You can change status of test to enabled or delete the line only if all the
    bugs are closed or modified or if the patch fixes it.
