Add Catch2 SECTIONs to TextExplorer test list

[BlackZork]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is hard to debug single catch2 SECTION

Describe the solution you'd like
Show list of TEST_CASE SECTIONs in Test Explorer panel. Allow to run and debug single section.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If it is hard to add next level to TestExplorer tree it would be great if TEST_CASE and its SECTIONs could be displayed next to each other on single list.

The Catch2 framework doesn't support it. :/
See this issue for details.

What I could do to generate the executable parameter list for the failing sections. Then it would be easy to set up a launch configuration for the executable.

Would you use it?

I made something for you (like 👵 makes 🍪). It will be released soon in version > 2.3.21
Tell me how you like it.

[BlackZork]

Thanks. Now I manually edit cmake launch configuration when debugging a section. OTOH I replaced most of my sections with test cases, it is much easier to run them from TestExplorer.

You have to run the test beforehand you debug it.
If you use windows or linux, I wouldn't mind a screenshot about the new feature. Curious about how it looks like on those platforms.

The sections do get reported in the xml output.
Could the test tree maybe be updated to include the sections after the tests are run?

[matepek]

Yes. In version 4.x it will be able to.
It's on the roadmap but life is just a little bit busier than usual. (In a good way :)

[Trass3r]

Nice!
One thing to keep in mind for the implementation is that generators aren't well integrated.
For me it doesn't report generated values like sections so I get multiple copies of the same subtree.
So especially when trying to run individual sections this may become confusing.

Dear User,

Version 4+ has been released recently.

It is still missing

Allow to run and debug single section.

but it is on the todo list and I will look into it.

I'm closing this issue for now. If you disagree then please comment !open.
