Elena Stepanova added a comment - 2017-02-20 23:23 I've found the reason why (probably) --mem was made a pure flag. The provided patch breaks common operation. If MTR is envoked so that --mem is immediately followed by command-line arguments (test names), the first test is considered to be the value of mem option rather than a test name. The "value" is later ignored because the location of course does not exist, but the test is not executed. Example: perl ./mysql-test-run.pl --mem 1st alias ... ==============================================================================   TEST RESULT TIME (ms) or COMMENT --------------------------------------------------------------------------   worker[1] Using MTR_BUILD_THREAD 300, with reserved ports 16000..16019 main.alias [ pass ] 79 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The servers were restarted 0 times Spent 0.079 of 5 seconds executing testcases
