Running a Single Test in sbt
We have a large number of tests runnable from sbt.
All short-running tests are run by just issuing the command

sbt test |
But often one will want to run only a single test. Here is the syntax to run one such test.
| Code Block |

sbt
> cli:test-only edu.illinois.ncsa.daffodil.CLI.debugger.TestCLIdebugger -- --tests=test_1382_.* |
The 'cli:' prefix is only needed for the CLI i.e., tests of the daffodil-cli module.
The class name is optional. It will search (and output lots of noise lines) and find the test anyway.
The value of the --tests option is a regular expression. Keep it simple. But notice this is a ".*" not simply "*". This is not a command line "*" it is a regular expression "*", which must follow something to be matched.
