bazel - Using strategy_regexp for the TestRunner action?

Question

The TestRunner action is excluded from strategies set using the command line parameter strategy_regexp. What are the reasons for not being able to map strategies for the TestRunner? In the code there is a comment on not overriding test strategies for backwards compatibility. Do you know what test strategies it may conflict with?

Code that excludes the TestRunner: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/exec/SpawnStrategyRegistry.java#L93

The background is that I would like to map individual C++ unit tests to remote execution but cannot find any support for that in Bazel? Is there perhaps some other mechanism that can be used for this?

Kind regards,

Jonas Hansson
