lein test with command-line args?

[AndyK]

Is it possible to pass command-line arguments to tests using
leiningen? Looking for ways to control the way that tests are run
using lein test by passing in switches (e.g. which environment it runs
against, which tests run, etc). One workaround that occurs to me is to
use lein run where run calls run-tests directly, but that seems
hacktacular.

More generally, how would you set parameters for run-tests using
command-line args or function args?

Have you tried using test selectors? "lein help tutorial" explains how
they work.

Those are cool - thank you for bringing them to my attention

They don't appear to address the issue of setting up environment data.
For example, lein test :development -vs- lein test :staging where
different configs are loaded for :development or :staging (ex:
database, web endpoints).

OK, I see. I recommend using environment variables for that kind of
configuration.
