GoogleTest: How to skip a test?

Question

Using Google Test 1.6 (Windows 7, Visual Studio C++). How can I turn off a given test? (aka how can I prevent a test from running). Is there anything I can do besides comm

Answer 1

I prefer to do it in code:

// Run a specific test only
//testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "MyLibrary.TestReading"; // I'm testing a new feature, run something quickly

// Exclude a specific test
testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "-MyLibrary.TestWriting"; // The writing test is broken, so skip it

I can either comment out both lines to run all tests, uncomment out the first line to test a single feature that I'm investigating/working on, or uncomment the second line if a test is broken but I want to test everything else.
You can also test/exclude a suite of features by using wildcards and writing a list, "MyLibrary.TestNetwork*" or "-MyLibrary.TestFileSystem*".
