enable sfdx force:source:deploy to accept test suites

[AllanOricil]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Im trying to run test suites when running sfdx force:source:deploy. I can do it by myself querying ApexTestSuite and TestSuiteMembership to generate a list of apex test classes, but it would nice to have this available by default in sfdx.

At the moment only sfdx force:apex:test:run supports a list of test suites. This command has a flag called -s | --suite-names which accepts Comma-separated list of Apex test suite names to run; default is all suites

What are you trying to do
Execute tests using test suites when running sfdx force:source:deploy

Describe the solution you'd like

sfdx force:source:deploy --test-suites test_suite_1,test_suite_2,test_suite_3

Describe alternatives you've considered
convert test suites to a a list of apex tests classes, and then pass this list to the -r flag in sfdx force:source:deploy

I see that this issue was closed, but when I try to use the command as proposed, it does not work. Has this been added to the CLI?

sfdx force:source:deploy -p "force-app/main/default/aura/Foo" --test-suite MySuite

ERROR running force:source:deploy:  Unexpected arguments: --test-suite, MySuite
See more help with --help

Should not of be closed. The work item has yet to be scheduled.

Thanks for the quick response @peternhale! I am also curious if this will be able to be used in conjunction with -l RunSpecifiedTests or if they will be mutually exclusive. I would hope to be able to run specified tests as well as the elements of a test suite - something like:

sfdx force:source:deploy -p "force-app/main/default/aura/Foo"  -l RunSpecifiedTests -r FooControllerTest --test-suite MySuite

I do not know at this moment, but I will make sure your comment is included in the work item.

Subscribing for this feature as it would dramatically improve our deployment time.
