Autotest will rerun all tests every time my tests start passing when they were failing. I have a lot of tests, and for reasons I won't go into, rerunning all of them is painfully slow.

How can I make it so autotest will never rerun all tests unless I Ctrl-C?

Autotest is supposed to map my tests to a class, I believe. When I have class Foo and class FooTest, autotest should see FooTest and say, "Hey, this test corresponds to the unit Foo, so I'll look for changes there and re-run tests when changes occur." And that works, however... When I have Foo::Bar… >>> More
