Feature request: Show output for running, in-progress tests about neotest HOT 5 CLOSED

You'll have to create a custom consumer. I've just added some small docs neotest.consumers but the best examples will be the existing consumers. It'll also require using the plenary async library.

from neotest.

Use :h neotest.run.attach()to see the output of the process as it runs

from neotest.

I see! If I want to dispatch to either neotest.run.attach or neotest.summary.open depending the status of a test case (whether it's running or status), I'll need to have a programmatic API. How to get the (current) test object on the cursor or access its status (or other fields) programatically?

from neotest.

Closing this as the plugin allows for the desired behaviour

from neotest.

I still think this is worth adding as a built-in component because it would be universally useful (either show the progress if in progress, or open the result if completed).

Anyway, the below is how I ended up adding my own custom consumers, following the suggestion:

neotest.setup {
  ...
  -- Add custom consumers on your own
  consumers = {
    attach_or_output = M.custom_consumers.attach_or_output(),
  },
}

function M.custom_consumers.attach_or_output()
  local self = { name = "attach_or_output" }
  local neotest = require("neotest")

  ---@type neotest.Client
  local client = nil

  self = setmetatable(self, {
    __call = function(_, client_)
      client = client_
      return self
    end,
  })

  -- neotest.attach_or_run.open()
  function self.open(args)
    args = args or {}
    local pos = neotest.run.get_tree_from_args(args)
    if pos and client:is_running(pos:data().id) then
      neotest.run.attach()
    else
      neotest.output.open()
    end
  end

  return self
end

Usage example:

command! -nargs=0 NeotestOutput    lua require("neotest").attach_or_output.open()

from neotest.
