this only broke in Insiders - is it a deliberate change? ! The issue is that without in doesn't render as expected: This was already the case for TestRun.appendOutput(), but not previously here. Is it possible to call this out in the docs, because I think it's confusing that an API that has nothing to do with the terminal behaves in this way without being documented.
ah, I see. Yea for that case we should not do this.
out of interest, why is it bad to do here, but ok for ?

It's always felt odd to me to have terminal semantics in APIs that are not clearly terminal-based
appendOutput is meant to take subprocess "terminal" output from the test runner. As of this iteration we now use a for showing this output, so colors and other escape sequences work as expected.
Understood. Although the asymmetry here feels a little awkward. I wonder if I'm using the APIs as expected (especially since I get a lot of complaints about this Peek Error window, and requests to turn it off - but it's not a language-specific setting). I don't currently have structured failure info from my test runner, so we often end up sending the same failure message to both and . Maybe it would help if the docs gave some guidance on what data should be sent where? For the Dart runner, we don't get any failure text at the end when a test fails, we just get events that produce error output, and then a "test failed" status. IIRC, we can't call without a message, so I think we end up duplicating the last error event sent to into it. It all feels a bit messy.
Perhaps a simple API solution to that would be to return a TestMessage from , such that if that message is reused to indicate failure the editor can deduplicate that. What do you think?
Yes, I like that idea :-)
<!-- AUTHORVERIFICATIONREQUEST --This bug has been fixed in the latest release of ! you can help us out by commenting if things are now working as expected. If things still don't seem right, please ensure you're on version of Insiders (today's or later - you can use in the command palette to check), and leave a comment letting us know what isn't working as expected. Happy Coding!
Verification steps: Start with the test provider sample Change this line to be something like F5, and run a test that fails. Verify the test message is formatted correctly like
should I file an issue about the change described above (to avoid duplication of the last output event and the failure event), or did you already open one?
