Any plans for test explorer?

WhiteBlackGoose opened this issue · comments

Hi.

Are there any plans on making a test explorer out of this plugin? So that, you know, one could write and/or debug a specific test or selected tests, and the progress was visible.

Do you have an example to illustrate what you mean?

Sure. Basically it's an interface to interact with particular tests, to see which ones were successful/failed, and which were ran or not.

Here's a picture of what it looks like in Visual Studio:

If you run TestSuite it will output the result of the whole test suite and in theory that data could be parsed and the user presented with an explorer though easier said than done. In some ways this overlaps with #691 as both involve parsing and processing the output of the tests.

Currently there are no plans to implement either as the focus of this plug-in is making it easy to run tests and how the output of the tests are displayed is very much up to the user based on what strategy is selected, however a strategy that presents a test explorer is a possibility.

I would love such feature.
