-Creating a ``.kunitconfig`` ---------------------------- - -By default, kunit_tool runs a selection of tests. However, you can specify which -unit tests to run by creating a ``.kunitconfig`` file with kernel config options -that enable only a specific set of tests and their dependencies. -The ``.kunitconfig`` file contains a list of kconfig options which are required -to run the desired targets. The ``.kunitconfig`` also contains any other test -specific config options, such as test dependencies. For example: the -``FAT_FS`` tests - ``FAT_KUNIT_TEST``, depends on -``FAT_FS``. ``FAT_FS`` can be enabled by selecting either ``MSDOS_FS`` -or ``VFAT_FS``. To run ``FAT_KUNIT_TEST``, the ``.kunitconfig`` has: +Selecting which tests to run +----------------------------
