_glob_to_regex(pattern::AbstractString) -> Regex

Convert a glob pattern (using * and ?) into a regular expression.

The returned regex is anchored (matches the full string).

_parse_test_args(args::Vector{String}) -> Tuple{Vector{Symbol}, Bool, Bool}

Parse command-line test arguments, filtering out coverage-related flags.

Returns (selections, run_all, dry_run) where:

• selections: selection patterns provided by the user (as symbols)
• run_all: whether -a / --all was present
• dry_run: whether -n / --dryrun was present

_run_single_test(name::Symbol; kwargs...)

Run a single selected test.

This helper:

• Resolves a test filename via filename_builder
• Includes the file into Main
• Optionally evaluates a function (via funcname_builder) when eval_mode=true

This function is not part of the public API.

Determine which tests to run based on selections, available_tests filter, and file globbing.

1. Identify potential test files in test_dir (default: test/).
2. Filter by available_tests if provided.
3. Filter by selections (interpreted as globs) if present.

Notes

If available_tests is empty, this function falls back to an auto-discovery heuristic using the filename stem as the candidate test name.

run_tests(::CTBase.TestRunnerTag; kwargs...)

Run tests with configurable file/function name builders and optional available tests filter.

Keyword Arguments

• testset_name::String = "Tests" — name of the main testset
• available_tests::Vector{Symbol} = Symbol[] — if non-empty, only these tests are allowed
• filename_builder::Function = identity — Symbol → Symbol, builds the filename from the test name
• funcname_builder::Function = identity — Symbol → Symbol|Nothing, builds the function name (or nothing to skip eval)
• eval_mode::Bool = true — whether to eval the function after include
• verbose::Bool = true — verbose testset output
• showtiming::Bool = true — show timing in testset output

Notes

• Test selection is driven by Main.ARGS (coverage flags are ignored).
• Selection arguments are interpreted as glob patterns and matched against both the test name and the corresponding filename.
