Examples
Run all column tests:
./regression.py --storage minio --clickhouse https://example.com/clickhouse.deb --only "/s3/minio/export tests/export part/columns/*"
Run all sanity tests with logging:
./regression.py --storage minio --clickhouse https://example.com/clickhouse.deb --only "/s3/minio/export tests/export part/sanity/*" -l test.log
Run all export part tests:
./regression.py --storage minio --clickhouse https://example.com/clickhouse.deb --only "/s3/minio/export tests/export part/*"
Run a specific scenario (e.g., alias_columns under columns):
./regression.py --storage minio --clickhouse https://example.com/clickhouse.deb --only "/s3/minio/export tests/export part/columns/alias columns"
