Hide skipped test console output while using `rails test`

I checked rails test -h but I do not see an option to suppress output for skipped tests. I have a few that need to be skipped and it's hard to wade through the output. I really only want to see the failures, to be honest, and then a summary at the bottom.

how I am skipping/passing a test:

Am simply adding the:

test "my broken test" do
    skip("I know this test is broken, ignore it for now.")
do

what I am seeing:

In the console output, each skipped test is output in the same way an error would be (only it's marked as SKIP). The summary is really all I want to see

1358 tests, 28 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 1340 skips

Thanks!

If you use the minitest-reporters gem you can explicitly supress skipped tests:

Minitest::Reporters.use!([
  Minitest::Reporters::DefaultReporter.new(detailed_skip: false),
])

I don't know if there's an official way, but I can think of two workarounds.

One would be to write a custom reporter.

The other would be to make your own skip function in TestCase (in test/test_helper.rb), something like this:

class ActiveSupport::TestCase

  def skip!(message=nil)
    Rails.logger.warn "Skipping #{caller[1]}#{message}" # output caller line
  end

end

Then you can simply call this and return in a one-liner:

class SomeTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

  test "do something" do
    return skip!("I can't do something right now 😿")
  end

end

This won't register as a skip in the count obviously, you'd have to check through minitest to see how to do that. It will just register as a passed test. However, you'll be able to detect all skips by grepping the log file.
