--xml-test-list not working?

[samsrabin]

From a checkout of ctsm5.2.005, I'm unable to use --xml-test-list. Here's the command I was running from the CTSM src/ dir:

../cime/scripts/fortran_unit_testing/run_tests.py --build-dir unit_tests.temp --xml-test-list test_list.xml

Here are the contents of test_list.xml (based on the example file from the CIME repo):

<test_suite_list>
  <suite name="TestSubset">
    <directory relative_to="here" label="bgc">
      biogeochem/test
    </directory>
  </suite>
</test_suite_list>

And here's the result of the command, with various warnings but one error:

I would have thought it'd get add_pfunit_ctest etc. from src/CMakeLists.txt—is it not?

@ekluzek and I discussed re-factoring this run_tests.py script. I can work on that. Hopefully my updates will fix this problem.

This still happens as of ctsm5.3.002 (cime6.0.246).
