Bug Description

Hi all,

working every day with NUnit 2.5 GUI I found couple of thing pretty annoying so if is is possible to advance them it would bring much better user experience:

1.) When tests are executed one by one ran tests are marked/painted and after it reaches bottom of explorer windows(where are all tests listed in tree structure) it does not automatically scroll down so tester does not see current test, how many ran and how many are still to go. Of course tester can after every couple of second per hand down scroll but this is not elegant.

2.) if set of test cases are executed and tester what to run once more some specific test than all (already ran) tests are grayed out. So it is not clear which are ran successfully which are not.

3.) if tester click on some Failed test case it should automatically select in the upper-right windows error report/message with description of problem.

Br,
Milan.

Hi Charlie,

maybe first two points of this Feature-Bug request represent feature and can be consider later but I want to stress that point under 3.) is very important and every day as I work with NUNit(2.5.2/2.5.3) I have problem because I want to click on failed test case and to get description related to that test case, AND and in the down-right windows the place in the code where selected unit test failed.

In this moment we have only first error displayed (in the code windows) and no further information about others fail unit tests!
I can see that this Feature-Bug request ist still treated with undecided priority, although it is very immportant for tested, so I want to ask once more for reconsideration of priorities.

Thanks,
Br,
Milan.

Undecided means the bug has not yet been reviewed - not that it's a low priority.

This bug is a little difficult to review, because it asks for three completely different things. That makes it more difficult for the reviewer, so human nature leads it to be postponed. I think I'll say more about this on the mailing list becuase it's a common problem.

As you know, there is little work being done right now because of the urgent web site problems, but this will be reviewed as soon as there is some time.
