Test names are usually very long - you need to put a pass/fail indicator to the left of the test name so you can see it without scrolling horizontally. How about just changing the color of the dots next to the tests? Green/red instead of making them all orange.
That's a good idea indeed, I'll change the color of the dots.
Any chance of this making the current release?
For 6.5 M2, definitely. I didn't get the icon right with some tinkering in Gimp after a brief attempt at this (I'm pretty bad in image editing as you guess), will ask someone from the HIE team to do that.
Done, changeset 3f9c90be583a. The HIE guy I spoke to recommended using the same error badge that is already used elsewhere in the IDE for indicating failures.
Integrated into 'main-golden', available in NB_Trunk_Production #285 build Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/3f9c90be583a User: Erno Mononen <emononen@netbeans.org> Log: #136482: Ruyb test runner: add status to left
Passed tests and failed tests still both show red dots. The failed test red dot is slightly different than the passed red dot (fails get an extra exclamation point), but passes still have a red dot.
I think that is how it was meant, the exclamation mark indicates a failure. Can you attach a screenshot here just in case?
Created attachment 64741 [details] screenshot with passing tests showing a red dot
Sorry I wasn't clear - there's nothing wrong with the failure indicator. The passing indicator is still a red dot, though - that seems wrong. The dots next to passing tests should be green.
I've changed the icons to completely new ones in changeset 010fd2b97796, will push tomorrow. They should make it more obvious whats tests failed and what passed.
