Testing infrastructure

[neopaf]

Currently in Java world we have integration with JUnit testing infrastructure, described here. Which includes

• intention to create a test for a class (with selection which methods to test)
• gutter icons to create run test configuration to test whole class or one of methods
• run test infrastructure which intercept output and presents it in a nice tree form with failed tests clearly visible
• • if test failed on equality assert in log window there's a nice <Click to see difference> (with a shortcut) that pops up detailed comparison (extremely convenient for large blocks of yaml/json).

Please consider implementing [some of] this?

This is a good idea, but some things may not go your way. Emmylua hasn't had feature updates for a long time. And due to indexing bugs, there has been a flood of bad reviews in the plugin space. We are working on re-implementing Emmylua using Rust.

This is always tempting to react to floods ;)

But we're using your marvellous plugin and ignore stupid indexing bugs, they are not affecting us in the least.

I've hacked up something to survive for now: https://github.com/neopaf/IntelliJ-EmmyLua/issues/2

Put some screenshots there. Few lines of code, pretty useful.

But nowhere near as good as JUnit integration....
