Reusing filtersets

[HarryCoops]

Hi,

What is the recommended way to reuse filtersets? If I have some non-trival filterset describing a logical group of tests, I want be able to reference it in multiple places where nextest is invoked, for example in a pipeline job definition and and also in a local. I could add a profile with a default filterset, but if I already had profiles for each of those pipeline and local contexts, I'd a new profile for each which doesn't feel like the right way. Hopefully I'm not missing anything obvious!

Thanks 😄

No support for aliases yet, but I think it really is time to add them.

Do you need a contributor for this? I'd be happy to help if so

If you'd like to give it a try, sure. I would look at how jj does revset aliases for direct inspiration. I'd also think about things like cycles and so on. Lots to think about but is totally feasible to do. Thanks!

BTW, I would spend some time writing up a document (in your own words, like this discussion!) before jumping in to get feedback.

That looks exactly like what I wanted, thanks! Will spend a little time familiarising myself with the code and get back to you with a design doc
