Unable to run force:apex:test:run ansynchronously in 7.97.1

[jajimenezffdc]

Summary

Moving from sfdx-cli/7.75.0 to 7.97.1

• When running "force:apex:test:run" in 7.75 it runs asynchronously by default, and you can force the synchronous mode with the "-y" parameter
• When running the same in 7.97.1 it runs synchronously by default and can't find any argument in the documentation for forcing the asynchronous mode

Steps To Reproduce:

Repository to reproduce: dreamhouse-lwc

1. sfdx force:org:create -f config/project-scratch-def.json -w 30 -d 1 --json
2. sfdx force:source:push -f -u test-xxxxxxxxx@example.com
3. sfdx force:apex:test:run -u test-xxxxxxxxx@example.com --testlevel RunLocalTests --json

Expected result

Both 7.75 and 7.97 should start running async and return a json with the following format: { "status": 0, "result": { "testRunId": "7072D00000mqC65" } }

Actual result

When running on 7.97.1 it waits until the tests have finished, and then return the detailed output: { "status": 0, "result": { "summary": { ..... }, "tests": [ ..... ] }

Additional information

Also tested on 7.96.1 with the same result

Hi @jajimenezffdc thanks for reporting this! I can confirm that the command is still running asynchronously by default, but it seems like the issue you're seeing is related to the output. If I'm understanding correctly, when the --json flag or result format is specified, the command is now waiting for the test run to finish and then display the full result rather than just displaying the test run id related info first?

[jajimenezffdc]

Thanks @AnanyaJha . That's correct. We are using the --json flag and expecting to have in the output the "testRunId", but getting the full summary instead.

Any update on this issue or expected release to fix it? @AnanyaJha Thanks.

Hi @jajimenezffdc thanks for checking in! We're working on a fix and expect it to be released within the next few (~3) weeks.

@AnanyaJha I see there is a merged PR for this is the fix available?

[AnanyaJha]

Hi @jajimenezffdc & @ncrebbinffdc thanks for checking in! A fix for this has been released with the latest version of the Apex plugin - please update your plugin to version 0.2.4 by running sfdx plugins:install apex@0.2.4 to test it out. Let us know if things look good!

[jajimenezffdc]

Thanks @AnanyaJha. Will this be included in the next cli release? I've tried sfdx-cli/7.113.0 (last version at this point), and still need to manually update to apex@0.2.4. By the way, upgrading the version seems to work as expected after my first tests. Thanks for fixing it.

@jajimenezffdc we actually had another issue opened where this behavior is being noted with the latest CLI version (7.114.0), so CLI has picked up these changes now. Since this is working for you now, we'll go ahead and close this one out!
