No "Testing" tab

Open szelemeh opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Type: Bug

Open any project in Cursor, there is no "Testing" tab, nor can I open it with command pallette with "Testing: Focus on Test Explorer View" <- this command doesn't even exist, but works as it should in the normal VS Code.

VS Code version: Cursor 0.8.5 (74f6148eb9ea00507ec113ec51c489d6ffb4b771, 2023-08-26T19:52:38.290Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 22.3.0 Modes:

After I've installed "Python Test Explorer" extension it started to show "Testing" tab for Golang tests! Which is quite surprising...

Same problem here in a TypeScript project, no Testing tab nor Testing: Focus on Test is working. Even if I have installed Jest

same here. Installed Mocha Test Explorer and Mocha sidebar in both Cursor and VsCode, but only vscode shows the tab. Installing Python Test Explorer made it visible

Feature Request

Description

The testing view is currently only accessible through the Command Palette ("Show Testing") but lacks a persistent icon in the sidebar. This makes it inconvenient to access the testing view regularly.

Current Behavior

  • Testing view can be accessed via Command Palette
  • No persistent testing icon in sidebar
  • No option to pin testing view
  • No testing entry in sidebar dropdown menu

Desired Behavior

  • Add a persistent testing icon in the sidebar
  • Allow pinning the testing view
  • Add testing entry in sidebar dropdown menu

Use Case

  • Regular access to test explorer during development
  • Quick switching between code and test views
  • Consistent access pattern with other IDE features

It is peculiar, and I don't know if it helps, but I had the same problem and when I assigned a keybinding (in my case [Alt+T]) to the "View: Show Testing" command, it started to show normally in the "sidebar", it can be pinned etc.

Worked for me. Thanks.

Previously this did the trick for me but after an update the tab disappeared again and adding a keybinding didn't work.

Just adding a keyboard was not working for mee too (cursor 1.2.2). However I've installed the DotRush extension, reopen the cursor, hit the keyboard, wait some time to load the tests and now I can be happy. Ref

EDIT: In my case I needed to let the powershell as the default terminal.

Ps: Thanks to my coworker Antonio who help to find this solution

I can't seem to find that view either, is it completely removed and is there alternative to seeing pretty UI for bun test for example?

I upgraded today to Cursor Version 1.3.6 (VSCode Version: 1.99.3). Now the Testing Explorer Tab is gone. I can enter the Testing Explorer with ALT + T, but there is no flask icon available. The previous version of cursor had the flask icon to access the Test Explorer by clicking available.

The weird thing: There is a cursor update almost everyday. On one update the icon is gone, the next update the icon appears, the next update the icon is gone. And so on. Very strange.

Same here; I had the icon a few days ago on a version older than but close to Cursor 2.1.32, and then after an update it was gone and didn't show up since (2.1.39 now).

I posted on the forums already, but the usual answer is just "install a third-party test explorer" which I don't want because I have a working pytest setup that mirrors our CI/CD with a working test explorer, I'm just looking for a simple icon to access it.

EDIT: I just noticed the focus of this report/discussion changed a bit; for me, "Testing: Focus on Test Explorer View" works well, I am just missing the icon like the last few posters, and adding a key binding won't help.
