It would be nice if we had an option to run only the selenium tests in the
Django test suite. These tests are slow and don’t run by default (you must
specify `./runtests.py --selenium`). A common use case is to want to check
the selenium tests after a normal run of the test suite which skips them.
Currently you must rerun the entire test suite with selenium enabled
instead of running only the selenium tests that were skipped in the first
test run.
I think it would be okay if we changed `./runtests.py --selenium` to do
that. My argument is that there isn't a common need to run both the non-
selenium and selenium tests in one command which that option provides now.
Feel free to voice disagreement on this; for example, if you think we
should add a separate option for running only the selenium tests.
I'm not sure about the best implementation, so to whoever picks this up,
please share what you have in mind before coding.
