Allow accepting file containing test files to run - add support for env var KNAPSACK_TEST_FILE_LIST_SOURCE_FILE

ref: KnapsackPro/knapsack_pro-ruby#129

This PR adds support for this behavior to the regular knapsack gem.

@ArturT Any chance of this getting merged in upstream ?

Hi @alexanderjeurissen

This feature is specific to the knapsack_pro version. More about it here https://knapsackpro.com/faq/question/how-to-run-a-specific-list-of-test-files-or-only-some-tests-from-test-file

Support from users who use the knapsack_pro gem helps us keep maintaining the project and provide ongoing support for the users.

At the moment we have a pretty busy time with other priorities so we haven't decided yet whether to introduce the same feature into the knapsack gem. We might revisit this PR later.

If you like you can try out the knapsack_pro gem version in the meantime and we can help with the setup. If you have an open-source project then you can use it for free. Feel free to contact us. We can always find a win-win solution for your team and provide technical tips on how to improve your CI setup.

Cheers

@ArturT how is it going with the decision?

[ArturT]

@wscourge At this moment, we abstain from the decision to introduce new features.

I hope in 2023, we will clarify the high-level plans so that we can put more focus on delivering value to users. We will better understand how the knapsack gem fits into that.
