Introduction

This tool is inspired by the git bisect tool but allows to bisect over multiple arbitrary lists of arguments like nightly builds, tool versions or simply list of arguments.

Setup

Bisecter is available from pip so one can install it by executing:

python3 -m pip install bisecter

or to install directly the latest version from git:

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/ldoktor/bisecter.git

Basic usage

The workflow is similar to git bisect, only when starting the bisection one needs to specify the lists of arguments this bisection is going to use:

bisecter start '20230101,20230102,20230103,20230104,20230105,20230106,20230107'
bisecter run ./test.sh
bisecter log

One can also manually tag variants:

bisecter start '20230101,20230102,20230103,20230104,20230105,20230106,20230107'
./test.sh $(bisecter args)
bisecter good
./test.sh $(bisecter args)
bisecter bad
...

See bisecter --help for more details.
