Shaped Test Output
Last month I had to write some stuff that affected our whole application and therefore I had to run the full test suite several times a day and wait for it to finish every time to find out what the errors are that it displays.
The output in the shape of “…E..F..FE..” is usefull to get an overview of the amount of errors but unless you wait til the end you can’t get a clue as to where the error occurred.
That bugged me quite a while and finally I wrote a plugin that shapes the output much better (at least to my mind).
When you use the TestOutputShaper you get this:
AlbumTest: ....F.F...
AlbumControllerTest: FF......FF...
PictureTest: FFFFFFFFFFAt that point – without knowing the actual error – you can stop the suite and run the particular test to see what is broken.
When you work with small test suites that may not be a big win, but when you have a lot of code and have it well covered by tests, it can be a huge time saver.
Especially when you test for valid html your test suite can take like hours.
