Since we're keeping quite a few disabled tests in stock that indicate pending work (which is a good thing), it's not always clear (to me, at least) when any of those tests might be resolved due to (seemingly unrelated) fixes. So I'd like to propose a new
@MetafixToDo
annotation instead of the current@Disabled
annotation, which takes care of reminding us of no longer failing tests: Failing tests marked as "to do" will be reported as skipped (just as before¹); passing tests marked as "to do" will be reported as failed (so we know we can remove the annotation).¹ Except not quite: One problem with the proposed approach is that the log messages of still failing tests somewhat clutter the test output. We could reduce the log level for tests to
ERROR
as a remedy. OTOH, it's not entirely useless to see those messages, because sometimes disabled tests fail for the wrong reason ;) (seeMetafixSelectorTest.reject()
for instance).
