Get help with testing, discuss unit testing strategies etc.

We're running many end to end application tests using Siesta. I observed that these don't really work in parallel and had that suspicion confirmed in other threads on the forum, so I'm using runCore:'sequential' just fine.

Since we don't get the benefit of running those tests in parallel, Is there an option to have the currently active test always be highlighted and the activity displayed? I realize I can always click the name of the newly active test when the tests change, but wasn't sure if there's a way to automatically do this.

Thanks

Yes, thats possible - enable "Observer mode" in the UI settings (gear icon in left-bottom toolbar).

Cool, thanks! I never noticed that option. The only drawback to observer mode is that the popup covers the output /diagnostics that are produced by the tests. Is there any way to see both?

Hm.. No, "observer mode" will force the popup I'm afraid.
