What did you expect to happen?

I hoped it would act like the "Run tests" button in RStudio.

Instead it sources the file (which it does say when you hover), this is not that nice since:

• it requires you to devtools::load_all() beforehand most times to work
• it doesn't handle snapshot testing with testthat

Ref: #1365

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

nope

As you suspect, we will soon have a gesture to do what you want, due to work on #1365 (my current task). Hopefully we're going to end up somewhere that's arguably better than RStudio and the "Run tests" button. Stay tuned.

Related to #1359 (which is also about the appropriate-ness of "Source R File" in certain contexts) and perhaps to #1808.

This is covered by #2225.
