pio-test: Specify a port for firmware uploading.
$ pio test --upload-port ${upload_port}
try on your machine

This command is used in PlatformIO, a development environment, to run tests for a project and specify the upload port.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • pio test: Initiates the testing process in the PlatformIO environment.
  • --upload-port ${upload_port}: Specifies the upload port to be used during testing. The ${upload_port} is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with an actual port value. The upload port is the communication port (e.g., USB) used to connect the development board or device to the computer on which the tests are being run.

By providing the upload port, the command ensures that the tests are executed on the specified device and the program is uploaded to that device for testing purposes.
