x.py test tests/ doesn't work

[est31]

If you try to do ./x.py test src/test, it doesn't work:

./x.py test --stage 1 src/test/ --bless
Updating only changed submodules
  Submodules updated in 0.01 seconds
Building rustbuild
    Finished dev [unoptimized] target(s) in 0.14s
error: no `test` rules matched 'src/test/'
help: run `x.py test --help --verbose` to show a list of available paths
note: if you are adding a new Step to bootstrap itself, make sure you register it with `describe!`
Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:00:00

Same goes for x.py test compiler and x.py test library.

Why did you expect these to work?
The following should work: ./x.py test src/test/ui, ./x.py test library/core. I think currently this is by design.

Or is this a feature request to make ./x.py test src/test basically ./x.py test src/test/*?

Yeah it's a feature request. I filed it upon invitation of @jyn514 after he asked about pain points of bootstrap : https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/pain.20points.20of.20bootstrap/near/283314219

Yeah this exactly.

Update: still doesn't work today (now with the tests/ dir).
