283Tests which are tagged ":expensive-test" are enabled additionally, if
284you run "make check-expensive" from the top-level directory. "make
285<filename>" as mentioned above incorporates expensive tests for
286<filename>.el(c). You can also define any ert selector on the command
287line. So "make check SELECTOR=nil" is equivalent to "make
288check-expensive".
289
290You could also use predefined selectors of the Makefile. "make
291<filename> SELECTOR='$(SELECTOR_DEFAULT)'" runs all tests for
292<filename>.el(c) except the tests tagged as expensive.
293
294Selectors can be defined with different methods, see (info "(ert)Test
295Selectors") or

297If your test file contains the tests "test-foo", "test2-foo" and
298"test-foo-remote", and you want to run only the former two tests, you
299could use a regexp: "make <filename> SELECTOR='\"foo$$\"'" .
