    Hi,

    No, this is not possible from the script.



    Alternative (to COM-based) approach may be to read some configuration file that specifies what test items should be either executed and/or skipped, iterate through all test items in the given test project and either execute or skip them.

Hi Edgar.



I designed something similar here.

I want some checkpoint to be critical and if they fail, I provide a list of TestItem to skip.



First, I created an XML node that contains all my test item (including folders).

If I want to disable an item or a folder, I push it into a List.

I add an event handler on OnStartTest event that look if current test item is contains in the list of disabled one.



If the item has been disabled, I call the Runner.Stop() and log a warning to explain why the item has been disabled.



It works fine. Let me know if you are interested, I would provide some script.



Cheers.



Guillaume.
