 # The `run-make` test suite

+The `run-make` test suite contains tests which are the most flexible out of all the [rust-lang/rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust) test suites. `run-make` tests can basically contain arbitrary code, and are supported by the [`run_make_support`] library.
 
 ## Infrastructure
 
-There are two kinds of run-make tests:
+A `run-make` test is a test recipe source file `rmake.rs` accompanied by its parent directory (e.g. `tests/run-make/foo/rmake.rs` is the `foo` `run-make` test).
 
-1. The new `rmake.rs` version: this allows run-make tests to be written in Rust
-   (with `rmake.rs` as the main test file).
-2. The legacy `Makefile` version: this is what run-make tests were written with
-   before support for `rmake.rs` was introduced.
+The implementation for collecting and building the `rmake.rs` recipes are in [`src/tools/compiletest/src/runtest.rs`](../../src/tools/compiletest/src/runtest.rs), in `run_rmake_test`.

-### Formatting
-
-Note that files under `tests/` are not formatted by `./x fmt`,
-use `rustfmt tests/path/to/file.rs` to format a specific file if desired.
