[PATCH] kunit: tool: don't print out test statuses w/ 0s in summary

Even with our current set of statuses, the output is a bit verbose.
It could get worse in the future if we add more (e.g. timeout, kasan).
Let's only print the relevant ones.

I had previously been sympathetic to the argument that always
printing out all the statuses would make it easier to parse results.
But now we have commit acd8e8407b8f ("kunit: Print test statistics on
failure"), there are test counts printed out in the raw output.
We don't currently print out an overall total across all suites, but it
would be easy to add, if we see a need for that.

Looks good to me. I agree that we should add a total, too. I was
thinking of adding one anyway, but now there's more space for it, I've
just sent a patch out.

I was specifically referring to the test statistics in the kernel output.
We print out the counts per suite, but we don't print out the total count.

But a total in the kunit.py parsed output might be useful as well.

[PATCH] kunit: tool: Print a total count of tests.

[David Gow]

Add a count of the total number of tests run (including skipped tests,
which do run a little bit until they decide to skip themselves) to the
summary line.

Hmm, I've never really felt the need for a total to be printed out.
We've had few enough tests and different statuses that the mental
addition is easy enough.

Bikeshedding:
This current output of
  Passed: 40, Skipped: 2, Total: 42
feels a bit awkward to me.
If we did print one out, I think it should probably go first, e.g.
  Ran 42 tests: 40 passed, 2 skipped.

Wdyt?

It's useful just often enough as a sanity check (were those failures /
skipped tests fixed, or did we just stop running them): having one
number to check for "did some more tests run at all" is quite
convenient. Particularly when dealing with nasty dependency chains and
"all tests" builds.

This is also particularly useful when running on setups where
scrollback is more of a pain, as the summary line is absolutely
invaluable there.

I personally don't find having "Total" at the end awkward -- putting
the sum at the end has been done on ledgers for years -- but do admit
it's even more convenient to have it first (so it's at the same place
on the screen every run, regardless of the rest). So "Ran 42 tests: 40
passed..." would emphasise the "total" over the "passed" count here.
Personally, I think that's probably a good thing: I think what most
people really want at a glance is effectively "Failed / Total" (or,
more realistically a sort-of "Problems / Total", where problems is
Failed + Error). But the combination of the colour (did it pass
overall) and the total are the things I'd usually want to look for
first.

So, tl;dr: I'd be all for the "Ran n tests: a passed, b failed, etc" wording.

Ack. My point was about the summary line.
We have so few tests that only a handful statuses, that adding up 2-3
small numbers always felt simple enough.
Esp. since the previous patch skips printing out the statues with 0s,
that becomes even easier.

But I'm not against having the total.
I just personally find the current output looks very awkward and would
prefer the status-quo over that specific output format.

I think a reader can already easily note the difference between
  Ran 42 tests: 40 passed, 2 skipped.
and
  Ran 42 tests: 20 passed, 20 failed, 2 skipped.

I.e. the mere existence of a second or third number in the breakdown
after "XX passed" feels like enough of an affordance.
(This is perhaps naively assuming that tests are kept healthy)

Ack.
Let's see if Brendan or others on the list have a preference.

If we want to go down that route, it might be easier if I combine this
in the previous patch
