When running the tests with ctest, --rerun-failed can be used to run the tests that failed on the previous run. However, the same subset must be specified because it is the test numbers that are used to index which tests failed on the previous run. For example, it would be incorrect to do the following: ctest -R export ctest --rerun-failed The following is correct: ctest -R export ctest -R export --rerun-failed

================
Introduction
The purpose of this file is *used* *to* *be* to provide a style
sheet and helpful hints to those wishing to help with the
LyX Documentation Project. There's now a separate style-sheet for
that.
If you're actually looking for documentation, check out the "Help"
menu. Start by reading the Introduction.
================
Why a separate documentation project? Can't the developers do it?
In a word, no. They're too busy adding features and squishing
bugs.
Also, g++ is far more forgiving of style changes than a human
brain. As long as the code is correct, g++ will happilly compile
it, and compile it the same way from machine to machine. Human
brains are far less forgiving and far more individualized. So,
the documentation needs to all be in a uniform style, in addition
to being grammatically correct and easily readable. That's a
pretty big undertaking - which is why I volunteered to
administrate the docs back in 1997. Since then, I've passed the
duty of maintaining the docs on to others.
================
Helping Out
If you'd like to contribute to the LyX Documentation Project,
start by reading the file Intro.lyx. It contains a description of
the style of the documentation from a reader's perspective. After
that, read the LyX Documentation Style Sheet (DocStyle.lyx) and
commit it to memory!
