Description Sam Brannen

2017-10-14 10:55:33 EDT

This feature request is similar to bug 386676; however, this request is for generic support for the JUnit Platform (i.e., not specific to JUnit 4).

Specifically, the IDE should differentiate between "skipped" and "aborted" tests or containers. In addition, if a "reason" is present it should then be displayed to the user.

One option is to make the "reason" available via mouse over (i.e., by hovering the mouse over the skipped/aborted item).

Another option (inspired by existing support for this feature in IntelliJ IDEA) would be to display the "reason" in what is currently called the "Failure Trace" pane. In that case it might be better to rename the "Failure Trace" pane to something like "Details".

As a side note, I noticed that the "Runs" box displays "3/3 (1 skipped)"; whereas, if you hover over the "Runs" box, it displays "3/3 (1 disabled)". Thus, it would be beneficial if these two were at least consistent.

In Eclipse IDE, number of skipped tests = number of disabled (ignored for JUnit 4) tests + number of tests with assumption failures (i.e. aborted tests).

The "Runs" box displays the total number of skipped tests and on hover you can see the exact number of disabled tests and tests with assumption failures.

For example, if you have two tests in your test class out of which one is disabled and other has assumption failure, then the IDE will display (2 skipped) and on hover (1 disabled, 1 assumption failure).

The other part of the bug report can be handled along with bug 386676 or separately for JUnit Platform via this bug.
