| ## `meson test` only rebuilds test dependencies |
| |
| Until now, `meson test` rebuilt the whole project independent of the |
| requested tests and their dependencies. With this release, `meson test` |
| will only rebuild what is needed for the tests or suites that will be run. |
| This feature can be used, for example, to speed up bisecting regressions |
| using commands like the following: |
| |
| git bisect start <broken commit> <working commit> |
| git bisect run meson test <failing test name> |
| |
| This would find the broken commit automatically while at each step |
| rebuilding only those pieces of code needed to run the test. |
| |
| However, this change could cause failures if dependencies are not |
| specified correctly in `meson.build`. |
