Show incremental progress when running tests #6407
Description
When running many tests from the TEST:PYTHON sidebar, all tests are shown to be in progresss (spinning arrow) until all tests have been run.
It would be much nicer if the spinning arrow icon is updated as soon has the test has run. In the Python Test Log this information is readily available, so you can directly see which tests have passed, failed, are running now or are scheduled to be run.
Possibly related to #1718, but that is more about the spinner in the bottom bar

Is there any progress on this one? One needs to run all tests before discovering that any test failed. See below how PyCharm reports progress:
Thank you for your time.

the real time updates to individual test's status was working in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LittleFoxTeam.vscode-python-test-adapter. I had used this extension before the MS python extension provided its own implementation of Test explorer

We are going through old issues and we noticed that no one from the team had replied to this issue. I want to apologize for the oversight and to let you know that the issue was reviewed by the team and triaged (as shown by the labels applied to this issue).

Thanks Brett Cannon (@brettcannon)

This would be a major improvement. waiting for 100+ tests to finish before being able to know what failed is a big pain

Fixed by #16769 but only for unittest framework, not pytest.

Can you please give us an update about the adapter status?
fsteinmetz commentedon Sep 14, 2021
It's great to see the improvements in the test area !!
The incremental test progress seems to work, but not always. When launching parametrized pytests through the gutter button, I see incremental status appearing. In the explorer, I can also click several tests, one by one, which are run in parallel with incremental progress. However, when running all tests in a file or in a project, the status only appears when all tests are done.

Is there a specific area or issue exist for Test Adapter? Could you link it here please as all searches end up with current ticket.

Dmytro Sokhach (@DmytroSokhach) #17242 item tracks the progress on the test adapter re-write.

Has this been solved? I can't really see any sort of progress indication on parameterized pytests, and it is fairly frustrating when there's many of them and they take some time to run...

Hello! This will soon be a feature following our testing rewrite. Our rewrite is out on insiders using the setting
"python.experiments.optInto": ["pythonTestAdapter"],. Once this PR is merged: #21466 and you enable the rewrite, this feature will work. The rewrite will progressively be shipped to more customers as we are shifting all users to the rewrite but are in the incremental stages at the moment.ItamarShDev commentedon Jun 22, 2023

this is now out on stable with the experiment turned on and therefore I am closing this as resolved. Thanks!
