Continuous Testing

Continuous Testing & In-Editor HUD

Section titled “Continuous Testing & In-Editor HUD”

Quarkus revolutionized Java testing with Continuous Testing, running tests that cover the code you touched in the background. Quarkus Studio brings this directly into the VS Code interface.

🚦 In-Editor Gutter Indicators

Section titled “🚦 In-Editor Gutter Indicators”

When editing a test class (*Test.java), Quarkus Studio renders real-time pass/fail icons directly in the editor gutter:

  • 🟢 Passed: Indicates the test method passed in the latest continuous testing run.
  • 🔴 Failed: Indicates the test method failed. Hovering over the icon displays the assertion error and stack trace tooltip.
  • 🟡 Skipped / Paused: Indicates paused or excluded tests.

📊 Status Bar Testing HUD

Section titled “📊 Status Bar Testing HUD”

Quarkus Studio injects a continuous testing status indicator in the VS Code Status Bar:

Quarkus Tests: 42 Passed | 1 Failed | 0 Skipped

Clicking the HUD allows you to quickly toggle test execution, pause testing, or rerun the test suite.

⚡ Key Continuous Testing Capabilities

Section titled “⚡ Key Continuous Testing Capabilities”

1. Auto-Rerun on Save

Section titled “1. Auto-Rerun on Save”

When quarkusStudio.continuousTesting.rerunOnSave is enabled (default true), modifying and saving any Java or configuration file automatically triggers re-execution of previously failed tests.

2. Interactive CodeLens

Section titled “2. Interactive CodeLens”

Interactive CodeLens buttons appear above each test class and test method:

  • Run Test: Executes only this specific test method.
  • Rerun Failed: Instantly triggers re-testing for failing tests without executing the entire suite.

3. Quick @TestProfile Switching

Section titled “3. Quick @TestProfile Switching”

Quarkus allows swapping runtime configuration and mocking services via @TestProfile.

Use the command Quarkus Studio: Switch Test Profile (quarkus-studio.continuousTesting.switchProfile) to:

  • Pick from available @TestProfile implementations in the workspace.
  • Scaffold a new @TestProfile class.
  • Temporarily disable profile overrides.
