Add configuration to skip particular test point using test point name

What are you trying to do?

It would be easy to have a qunit configuration that can skip available test points using test point names
For eg:
QUnit.config.testPointsToSkip = ['hello test', 'test point name 2']

QUnit.test( "hello test", function( assert ) {
assert.ok( 1 == "1", "Passed!" );
});

This will skip hello test.

I think you might be able to use QUnit.config.filter to do what you need. QUnit.config.filter accepts a regular expression; you could conceivably do something like this:

const testsToSkip = ["hello test"];

QUnit.config.filter = new RegExp(`^(?!(?:${testsToSkip.join("|")})$).*$`);

Note that this implementation will fail for strings that use regex special characters, so you would want to be sure to escape regex metacharacters in your own strings before setting QUnit.config.filter.

Closing this issue as I believe @platinumazure's solution is appropriate. @muthu90ec if you feel we need an additional API for the use case, then feel free to reopen with some explanation.

Thanks for the issue! 🙂
