Whether we just get rid of it, or change it to use the --defconfig option is a matter of taste. (Personally, I think there's some value in having a one-line "run the tests" command at the top of the Getting Started page, but it definitely needs to be one that works.) So, overall, I think this is definitely an improvement, but that we do need to choose whether to take this approach (deleting this command) or the --defconfig approach as in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20191119003120.154041-1-brendanhiggins@google.com/ > > Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de> > > --- > > Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst | 6 ------ > > 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst > > index 78a0aed..e25978d 100644 > > --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst > > +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst > > @@ -15,12 +15,6 @@ Included with KUnit is a simple Python wrapper that helps format the output to > > easily use and read KUnit output.

I generally think we want to keep the "Getting Started" guide focused on the goal (running/writing tests), rather than too much detail on the implementation (the wrapper itself). How about renaming what's currently the "KUnit Wrapper" section to "Running tests" or similar, and moving the kunitconfig part under that? The "Creating a kunitconfig" part could equally be "configuring which tests to run" or something, which may speak more to motivating As for some sort of tie-in, perhaps rewording the opening sentence to say "The easiest way to run tests is to use the kunit_tool script", and link to the page kunit_tool page in the patch below? > > Note: we have tried to address this potential issue for new users in > this patch under review: > > https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11252953/ > > I don't feel strongly whether we do it your way or my way.
