Examples

workspace "MyWorkspace"

-- put the projects "Tests1" and "Tests2" in a virtual folder named "Tests"

group "Tests"

    project "Tests1"
      -- Tests1 stuff goes here

   project "Tests2"
      -- Tests2 stuff goes here

-- Any project defined after the call to group() will go into that group. The
-- project can be defined in a different script though.

group "Tests"

    include "tests/tests1"
    include "tests/tests2"

-- Groups can be nested with forward slashes, like a file path.

group "Tests/Unit"

-- To "close" a group and put projects back at the root level use
-- an empty string for the name.

group ""

   project "TestHarness"
