Run, test and read the results

Make a run repeatable#

Project profiles retain directories, variables and commands, runnable sequentially or in parallel. Follow output and status and stop the process started by the IDE. Creating a profile does not install tools or start the program.

1. Open Run and prepare a profile with the project directory and commands.
2. Check required SDKs and dependencies, then start explicitly.
3. Read the output and open recognized source locations or the Problems panel.

From the summary to the failing case#

The Test panel discovers supported projects, including Node, Vitest, pytest, xUnit, Jest, JUnit and PHPUnit. Framework runtimes and dependencies must be available. Results distinguish passing, failing and skipped cases; filter or rerun the failures.

Where supported, coverage links lines to sources, and affected-test runs use project dependencies. An earlier result does not prove the state of sources changed after that run.

If a filter finds no cases#

Filters follow the framework: Jest uses a name expression, JUnit can use Class#method and xUnit uses VSTest expressions. Check the selected project and syntax before concluding that a test does not exist. An empty filter result is reported and must not be interpreted as a passing suite.
