As a result, any test in the current run configuration tab restarts automatically on changing the related source code, without clicking the Rerun button .

The button is not shown for Mocha and Jest tests. To activate the auto-rerun functionality for these test runners, add the --watch flag in the Extra Mocha options/Extra Jest options field of the Run/Debug Configuration: Mocha or Run/Debug Configuration: Jest dialog respectively.

Test History

Open the list of internally saved results of test sessions. Each item is supplied with the name of the run configuration and a time stamp.

To view the results of a testing session from the PyCharm history, select the item with the suitable run configuration and time stamp. The loaded test results are shown in a new tab, and the name of the corresponding run configuration is displayed in the title bar.

To re-run the tests from the loaded session, click .

Import Tests from File

Load previously exported test results. This button opens a dialog in which you can select the required XML file with test results.

Export Test Results

Save the selected test to a file. In the Export Test Results dialog, specify the filename and format. If you want to view the test results later, choose the XML format.

Click this cog button to access the context menu with the following options:

• Track Running Test: turn this option on to monitor execution of the current test. If a test suite contains multiple tests, the tree view of tests expands to show sequential test methods, as they are executed.

• Show Inline Statistics: turn this option on to have the statistics shown next to a test result, displaying the time used for executing each test.

• Scroll to Stack Trace: turn this option on to have the console scroll to the beginning of the trace of the last failed test.

  If you click the root node (the test package) in the tree view with this option turned off, the console will show the very beginning of the test.

  This option is helpful when a test package contains multiple test classes and test methods. If some of the tests fail, you can scroll in the console to the beginning of a stack trace of an exception or assertion.

• Open Source at Exception: use this option to explore the results of a test that fails as an error, throwing an uncaught exception.

  If you double-click the failed test class or method in the tree view with this option turned on, the respective test class or method will open in the editor, with the caret placed at the line that caused the problem.

• Navigate with Single Click: turn this option on to have the currently selected test in the tree view synchronized with the editor automatically.

• Select First Failed Test When Finished: turn this option on to have the first failed test automatically selected in the tree view upon completing the tests.
