It would be very nice to have state 'did not start' and it's support to mark by this state such testcases which did not started by some reason.
I don't understand why do you need 'did not start' status? Can you explain your usecase?
This state is used to identify tests that have not been started for some reason (for ex. IDE was closed while tests running) to attract attension to these tests. Othewise we can miss such tests and do not know that we have problems with some tests. Also in case we have this state we will have the constant number of all tests in reports independ on test result.
The case when a test case(s) is not finished or is not started at all is already handled by XTest (see issue 73182). The status of test is then 'uknown' and message says either 'Did not finish' or 'Did not start'. The requirement of constant number of executed tests should be satisfied. I don't think we need a special status for this cases.
Great. It's what we want. I did not know that it was already implemented. So, I mark this issue as duplicate of 73182. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 73182 ***
