By using Emacs' native
compilefunction, we can take advantage of the built-in features of compilation mode for free. That lets us do things like move between failures, open the relevant file and line from the stacktrace automatically and re-run the tests with a single keystroke. I was surprised at how little was required to get it all hooked up, honestly.There's a little more work to be done: I haven't tried to integrate the "test after save" hook, and the face used by the stacktrace right now is ugly. But, this change does what I need it to and I wanted to see if there was any interest in merging something like this before I devoted time to features I don't personally use. I'm happy to keep running a forked version if you want to keep the current implementation of test reports.
This change was inspired by rspec-mode
