Hi!
By "short summary", I mean the following format with dots:
Versus the verbose one:
I personally find the short format more convenient: it allows me to run the tests, change screen to do something else, and come back a few dozen seconds later to see if the tests are going well (assuming that the entire session takes a minute or two to run). This allows me to see at a glance if any tests have failed, and if so, in which group there is a problem. In verbose mode, this is not the case, since the tests scroll too fast on the screen, and there is no global view. Yet, the
-vv
option is essential to see other useful information and avoid output to be truncated in case of failure.Hence my question: do you think it would make sense to add an option to force the display using dots regardless of the level of verbosity?
I can definitively implement this and open a PR if you find it interesting.
