Hey everyone! New here, but I've been trying to set up a solid testing workflow in my IDE. I've noticed something...
Every test runner plugin I try seems to install half the internet. I just want to run my unit tests and see a clear pass/fail, but I get buried in complex UI panels, 50 new menu items, and features I'll never use. It feels like they're solving for huge enterprise teams from day one.
What would you recommend for something simpler and more focused? Is there a lightweight runner that just handles the basics well? I'm using Jest, if that helps.
I've felt that way about some Terraform plugins, honestly. They add so much noise.
Have you tried just using Jest from the terminal in your IDE? I know it's not as integrated, but I set up a few npm scripts for my most common test runs and it's been way simpler than fighting a plugin. Sometimes the runner built into your editor is enough?
