incremental build - Can I make meson just run the tests that were updated - Stack Overflow

As the title says. Meson seem to be very good at only recompiling those files that has been changed and so on, but when it comes to running the tests it seem that it always run all the tests despite no changes were made that triggered even relinking of the executable.

My setup is that I have a separate executable for each unit. I want meson to only run those that were affected by any changes I've made.

This is impossible to know, tests can depend on anything.

It has no way to only run newly compiled tests.
