Test UX in continuous integration

[som-snytt]

It would be nice if vulpix revealed the failed diff. (It performs a diff and not a simple strcmp.)

For this test suite or group below, there is no indication which "script" file failed.

It would be superlative to summarize at the end, as opposed to scrolling back through output.

I think a differentiating char in the first column is easier to scan for, if I must scan:

!!! expected =========>

Even better in red.

Sample output:

Similarly, a list of line numbers would be more helpful as a diff. Show me the wrongness.

Wrong number of errors encountered when compiling out/compileNeg/neg/f-interpolator-neg
expected: 46, actual: 49 -> following the errors:
at 80: Missing conversion operator in '%'; use %% for literal %, %n for newline
 at 79: Missing conversion operator in '%'; use %% for literal %, %n for newline
 at 79: Missing conversion operator in '%2'; use %% for literal %, %n for newline
 at 78: illegal conversion character 'i'
[snip]

It shows unfulfilled expectations now.

I just spent way too long trying to move a caret. The caret or the stick?

-- Error: tests/neg/f-interpolator-tests.scala:10:10 -------------------------------------------------------------------
10 |    f"x % y = ${x % y}%d" // error: illegal conversion character 'y'
          ^^^^
          illegal conversion character 'y'

"actual output":

-- Error: tests/neg/f-interpolator-tests.scala:10:10 -------------------------------------------------------------------
10 |    f"x % y = ${x % y}%d" // error: illegal conversion character 'y'
   |          ^^^^
   |          illegal conversion character 'y'

the VBAR indent is missing in the sbt output.

You mean the caret or the shtick.

though maybe if every line differs then don't bother.
