Test Results Output show only fixtures in test tree

[a-kachurin-trassir]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

In Test Result Output, when viewing the test results in the right-hand panel, only the names of the test fixtures are displayed instead of the full test descriptions, if test parametrized. Additionally, the tests are sorted alphabetically rather than by their location in the file, which can disrupt the context and flow of test reviews.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Write tests with parametrizred fixtures
2. Run the tests using the built-in test runner in VSCode.
3. Observe the test output in the right-hand 'Test Results' panel.

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

Hi! Can you send an example of the actual and expected you are seeing? Just so I understand what you think the name should be verse what you are seeing- thanks!

[a-kachurin]

I would like to see the name of the test function + parametrization in the results, as shown here in the test tree: Right now, I'm unable to understand the results when a function has parametrization, as the test name is missing:

marking this as a feature request since this was intentional to not make the name too long- based on votes we can determine which people prefer. Thanks!
