Description

Hi, awesome project!

I'm opening this issue due to the need of working in a monorepo, and using Vitetest projects. The need is similar to the one stated in this issue https://github.com/mattpocock/evalite/issues/155 , but in our case we use a single config file (which evalite is able to pick up) just with a different project config for each suite of test types (ie, unit, e2e, performance, eval,...).

I think we could achieve this in two ways:

  • I can see that, in the interactive CLI, if you press w you're able to filter by project and it works as intended, the thing is that it would be extremely useful to have the same options as command arguments (like the ones in vitest, for example --project in this case). However l'm not sure if that's something coming from evalite or from the vitest runner directly.

  • The other way we could implement this is via the evalite.config.ts, having an option (for example, vitestProject) and setting that to the vitest runner.

This way, we could use the evalite CLI (instead of using vitest directly) and choose which configuration of Vite to use depending on the argument flag/evalite config.

Thank you for your time and this awesome test suite!

Research direction

Start by tracing the interactive CLI's project filtering and how evalite forwards options to the Vitest runner; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means users can select a Vitest project through CLI arguments or evalite.config.ts, with the selected configuration applied when running evaluations.
