Specifying a Configuration File With config

To specify the configuration file the harness uses to run tests, use the config command.

> jtharness ... -config path/filename ... [task-command] ...

See About the Command-Line Examples for a description of > jtharness in the example.

The configuration file might contain default values for the test suite (which contains the tests to be run) and the work directory (where the results are placed).

Test suite and work directory values in the configuration file can be overridden with the testsuite and workdirectory commands. If the configuration file is a template and does not contain default values for the test suite and work directory, those values must be specified explicitly with the testsuite and workdirectory commands.

See Command-Line Overview for a description of the command line structure.
