Option to suppress "Skipped" messages

[jcmrva]

This would be particularly useful when focusing a test, or list of tests.

We have hundreds of tests, so focusing results in a flood of messages.

Hello, @jcmrva

Can you provide a small example of a code that does what you described?

I would also like to see this option.

@ratsclub For example with the test suite

let tests =
    testList
        "A test group"
        [ test "one test" { Expect.equal (2 + 2) 4 "2+2" }

          ftest "another test that fails" { Expect.equal (3 + 3) 5 "3+3" }

          testAsync "this is an async test" {
              let! x = async { return 4 }
              Expect.equal x (2 + 2) "2+2"
          } ]
    |> testLabel "samples"

The option would skip over the messages
"<test> starting..."
"<test> was ignored. The test is skipped because other tests are Focused"

A workaround:

        runTestsWithCLIArgs
            [ Printer
                  { Impl.TestPrinters.defaultPrinter with
                      beforeEach = fun _ -> async { () }
                      ignored = fun _ _ -> async { () } } ]
            args tests
 

Although not ideal because the "test starting" message for the running test isn't shown
