[Question] How to enable virtual text

[Davincible]

Am I supposed to see virtual text like shown in the readme? I am only seeing the icon for passed/failed as virtual text

@Davincible have you added

    diagnostic = {
      enabled = true,
    },

To your neotest config?

[Davincible]

Yup.

Config:

local neotest_ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace("neotest")
vim.diagnostic.config({
	virtual_text = {
		format = function(diagnostic)
			local message = diagnostic.message:gsub("\n", " "):gsub("\t", " "):gsub("%s+", " "):gsub("^%s+", "")
			return message
		end,
	},
}, neotest_ns)

local neotest = require("neotest")

neotest.setup({
	diagnostic = {
		enabled = true,
	},
	status = {
		virtual_text = true,
		signs = true,
	},
	strategies = {
		integrated = {
			width = 180,
		},
	},
	icons = {
		running_animated = {
			"",
			"🞅",
			"🞈",
			"🞉",
			"",
			"",
			"🞉",
			"🞈",
			"🞅",
			"",
		},
	},
	adapters = {
		require("neotest-go")({
			args = { "-count=1", "-timeout=60s", "-race", "-cover" },
		}),
		require("neotest-python")({
			dap = { justMyCode = false, console = "integratedTerminal" },
		}),
	},
})

I'm able to see virtual text but to be clear it only appears when a test has been run and has failed, otherwise there will be no virtual text. It isn't really controlled here, but in neotest itself. Are you able to see virtual text with any adapters? If not, this is likely a config issue but at worst an issue there rather than here since this plugin doesn't do any logic to enable or disable the virtual text.

[Davincible]

I do see virtual text, but only icons. Could you make a screenshot with how it looks for you?

Some code to test;

func TestSuite(t *testing.T) {
	t.Run("TestOne", testOne)
	t.Run("TestTwo", func(t *testing.T) {})
	t.Run("TestThree", func(t *testing.T) {})
}

func testOne(t *testing.T) {
	t.Fatal("Yiiikes")
}

The message is quite long, so you can't see much of it, but the red text is the message of the full thing 🤷🏿‍♂️. Maybe try a more minimal configuration. Anyway, I'll leave further debugging to you +/- anyone else who wants to pitch in.

[Davincible]

Hm strange. Thanks

[Davincible]

Side note; I do see them with python, which I why I asked here

no virtual text display

I have the same issue over here, I can only see icons. Could it be the golang version? I am using the 1.20.4. Neovim version: 0.9 2.1.0-beta3

Likewise only seeing icons.
