Test Explorer does not filter by @group

StuardoRodriguez

Thank you very much for all the improvements you've done integrating Test Explorer + phpunit + pest. Between Copilot writing tests and being able to run them via MCP I feel way more comfortable with the generated code.

One thing I notice is that, in PHPUnit we have the @group tag to group tests together.

I tried setting a @group Foo both for the test method and the test class, but when I try to filter them in the Test Explorer, they are not shown.
{Filtered by @group}

StuardoRodriguez, thank you for your nice words.

Support for filtering by groups will be added in the next update!

Sneak peek:

Note, the filter text in the form on @Testing:... is given by VSCode, although I would personally prefer something like @group:...

StuardoRodriguez

I can see the filter to work for methods, not if we define the group for the full test class. Would it be possible to use that as a filter too?

As always, thank you for your great tool!

JakubMisek

StuardoRodriguez good point, we forgot the test groups above entire class.

Thank you, Stuardo, yes, once it's marked solved, we don't pay much attention :)

StuardoRodriguez

@JakubMisek just checking if you saw the message about tagging a class, inside this task flagged as solved?

JakubMisek

We're also adding support for groups annotated with PHPUnit attributes, such as #[Group( '' )], #[Small], etc.

JakubMisek

Should be implemented in 1.62.18097 - thank you for noticing!

I do see the group now. I have this group defined that is very slow to run, so I excluded it in my phpunit.xml file

    <groups>
        <exclude>
            <group>getstream</group>
        </exclude>
    </groups>

I do see the tests being filtered BUT if I try to run them from the "testing" tab, they just don't run.

If I remove the <exclude> block, the tests do run

StuardoRodriguez, thank you for the quick test. I'm not sure we can force phpunit to run groups that are excluded from the run configuration. I'll take a look, if there isn't a special parameter, or if can mark such tests as excluded.

JakubMisek

StuardoRodriguez I see, we should pass --group commandline argument to phpunit, so it overrides the phpunit.xml groups config.

edit: fixed in the next update
