The sentinel test command runs policies against the Sentinel test framework.
To learn more about testing, see the testing policies page.
Usage
Usage: sentinel test [options] [PATH] ...
This command runs the defined test cases against a set of policies.
The test cases are expected to live at the path test/<policy>/*.[hcl|json] relative
to the policy being tested. <policy> should be the name of the policy
excluding the file extension. The files should be in the configuration
file structure. The test key is used for
assertions. Test cases ignore the root level configuration file and must have
all required configuration provided in each test case.
The PATH arguments specified may be a list of zero or more files or directories.
When no arguments are given, it defaults to the current directory. When a
directory is given, all policies ending with the extension .sentinel are
tested.

See the testing JSON output section for more details.-run=regexp- Run only tests matching the regular expression pattern.
