[ENHANCEMENT] Robot Output view #275

Open jaltendorfer opened 2 months ago

jaltendorfer commented 2 months ago

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe. In robotframework-lsp there is an "Robot Output" view in VSCode to give you an overview which keyword is currently running and which keywords were already executed. See: image

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to have such a view also in robotcode.

For me any my colleagues, this is one of the main reasons why we still use robotframework-lsp.

Have you tried robotcode.debug.groupOutput? If you enable it, you should see something like this in the debug console:

Maybe this meets your requirements?

If not, what exactly are your requirements and why do you need such a view?

I've tried several times to implement something like this, but I always came to the point where such a display caused real performance losses, no matter where, whether in the actual test run or in the VSCode UI. That's why I've always decided against implementing something like this completely.

But I would like to know why and for what you really need this display for? Perhaps there are other solutions/ways to solve these requirements?
