I'm using TestCafe to run my integration tests. I know it has the test.skip function, which is great for when I'm testing locally and want to skip a set of tests I don't need/want to run... but I was wondering if there was a way to run ALL TESTS except --test-meta environmentSpecific=true etc?

We have a number of different environments, and I'm looking for a simple way to skip tests via the CLI, depending on the environment we're targeting for the build.

Yes, you can do it using the programmatic way to run TestCafe. See an example:

const createTestCafe = require('testcafe');
let testcafe         = null;

createTestCafe('localhost', 1337, 1338)
    .then(tc => {
        testcafe     = tc;
        const runner = testcafe.createRunner();

        return runner
            .src('/tests')
            .filter((testName, fixtureName, fixturePath, testMeta, fixtureMeta) => {
                 return !testMeta.environmentSpecific;
             })
            .browsers(['chrome', 'safari'])
            .run();
    })
    .then(failedCount => {
        console.log('Tests failed: ' + failedCount);
        testcafe.close();
    });

I can't comment because I don't have 50 rep...

@mlosev how would you go about filtering through the .testcaferc.json file like you did there with the runner?

I want to run all tests except those with a meta of toDo: 'yes'. Current config file:

{
    "assertionTimeout": 5000,
    "browsers": ["chrome --window-size=1920,1159"],
    "concurrency": 7,
    "pageLoadTimeout": 15000,
    "reporter": {
        "name": "spec",
        "output": "artifacts/reports/test_suite_results"
    },
    "screenshots": {
        "path": "artifacts/screenshots",
        "pathPattern": "${TEST}_${DATE}_${TIME}.png",
        "takeOnFails": true
    },
    "selectorTimeout": 5000,
    "skipJsErrors": false,
    "src": "tests",
    "videoEncodingOptions": {
        "aspect": "16:9",
        "framerate": 30
    },
    "videoOptions": {
        "failedOnly": true,
        "pathPattern": "${TEST}_${DATE}_${TIME}.mp4",
        "singleFile": false
    }, 
    "videoPath": "artifacts/recordings"
}
