Test classification

[jvesala]

As a leiningen user I would like to be able to categorize tests. And execute categories separately.

Currently I have a project with several unit- and integration test files (in different directories). I would like to run all unit tests separately from Webdriver integration tests and vice versa.

If categorization is hard, it would be OK, if I could somehow run all tests from one directory in single execution.

I've had something like this in mind for a while now. My idea is to use metadata on the test function vars and accept a predicate on the command-line to determine whether each var should be run. Generally the predicate would just be a keyword.

Unfortunately there's a bug in Clojure 1.2 right now that prevents this from working: http://www.assembla.com/spaces/clojure/tickets/246

But it would work with 1.1.0 and prior.

I hope to implement this eventually, but a patch to support it would not be too hard if you'd like to contribute.

Implemented this a while ago as test selectors.
