Enable debug option for tests running #4

Closed TaylorOno closed 2 years ago

TaylorOno commented 3 years ago

There is not currently a debug option while running ginkgo tests.

Ideally the ginkgo debug functionality would work exactly like go test debug allowing easier trouble shooting.

Not sure if it's as simple as directly attaching the debugger to the runner or not, but I managed to get focused, debuggable tests by instead using the built-in go test runner, and the -ginkgo.focus="blah" option in program arguments.

Tired to manually specify -ginkgo.focus="blah.blah.blah" in go test run configuration, I extend the IntelliJ-Ginkgo plugin to automatically generate a go test runner along with ginkgo runner and make debugging possible.

This is still very rough (no testing output parsing, etc.), but it works well to debug as a complement to Ginkgo run configuration.

You can build the extended plugin using the code in my fork: Troublor/Intellij-Ginkgo

./gradlew buildPlugin

This Gradle task will generate the plugin artifact in build/distributions that can be installed in Goland.

I am at a "works on my machine" point for debugging with reporter output. Hopefully I have more new soon
