Running a "Test Project" silently skips over errors in imported modules: If a unit test module imports a code module that has an error (e.g., a syntax error), that unit test module will just be skipped, but Test Runner doesn't report any problems. For instance, if I have a set of 21 unit test functions in several modules, a good run might say "All 21 tests passed". But if one of the unit test modules imports something that has an error, I might get a message like "All 14 tests passed". There is no clue that 7 tests have been skipped because of an error. I have to remember the total number of unit tests in a good run. When running a single "Test File", this is not a problem, because I see "No tests executed" in the left-hand test output pane, and a transcript in the right-hand pane that shows the error.
Running tests need work. We are planing to do this. This will be tracked elsewhere. Closing this old bug.
Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
