The new Test History is very nice and makes it easier to locate tests. If it’s not too much to ask, is it possible to add the option to delete a test?
Sometimes -rarely, but it happens- a running test gets stuck and can’t be cancelled. It just remains there appearing as if running, even if you come back after an hour. The problem is these few failed tests show up in the Test History also, and if clicked they are blank.
So it would really be useful if we could delete them, not to clutter the History.
Thanks for the suggestion! This one has come up a few times. We’re doing a bunch of work on the Test History page at the moment and this is absolutely one of the things on our list. Stay tuned!
Could you share the documention of where to provide this “hide tests” option. I’m not able to find it in the types for runTest method.
This are the options I see there.
