[FEATURE] Increase the TEST RESULT history length #1171

Closed jens-ghc closed 3 months ago

jens-ghc commented 3 months ago

The TEST RESULT window seems to be limited to about 800 lines, i.e. it's showing only the most recent 800 lines of output.

Most of the tests we are running are printing extensive debugging info in case they fail, so we can find the cause of failures. If we run all of our test-suite and have multiple failures we run over the 800 lines and hence don't see all the output anymore needed for fixing the failures. Then we need to look at the list of failures and re-run all the failed tests individually to see their full output.

Is there a way to increase the history length? If not, would you consider adding this?

I believe I found the setting in VSCode that is responsible for this: Open the Settings editor with key sequence (⌘,) Search for setting: terminal.integrated.scrollback Set it to a large value such as 5000
