Show per test debug output like junit debug output about intellij-pants-plugin HOT 8 CLOSED

Note that you should be able to run tests using JUnit plugin which has this fancy UI.

Yes, but to do that, IntelliJ then needs to re-compile everything, which is slower and less incremental than letting pants compile and run the tests.

The plugin compiles using Pants!

Ah, ok, so maybe we should then always use the junit mode for running tests? Why even have the 'pants test' option? Does it do anything differently? Maybe not having the option removes confusion?

Unfortunately in our enormous code base we've seen cases when JUnit didn't work. This run configuration producers were added for parity with command line. But Pants Run Configuration is not only about tests. You can configure them to run any pants command and for test and run goals the plugin will automatically modify them to be able to debug tests/running app.

well, so it looks like running the junit test mode does indeed use pants, but seems to try to compile the entire project, instead of just the dependencies needed for the test at hand. this alone is a huge reason why that mode is not good enough (as opposed to running just pants test on the selected files/packages)

work in progress https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/3493/ will address this issue, at least to the extent of running junit test.
