+### Test Explorer
+
+The Test Explorer provides a UI similar to the Xcode Tests UI. The UI contains a tree view, including all the test targets, with each XCTestCase class embedded within those targets and each individual test embedded within those classes. Tests can be run outside of a debugger or in the debugger. You can run individual tests, or filter the tests being run by class or test target, or just run all tests. The UI updates as tests succeed or fail.


Not sure about the use of the word embedded in the TestExplorer section, but can't think of a better alternative. Was thinking of rewriting this section it doesn't really make total sense. There is no discrimination between the actual tests and the tree view elements that represent them.

The Test Explorer provides a UI similar to the Xcode Tests UI. The UI contains a tree view with top level elements representing each test target in your package. These top level elements then contain child elements that represent each XCTestCase class in the test targets and each XCTestCase element contain leaf elements that represent each individual test. Tests can be run outside of a debugger or in the debugger. You can run individual tests, or filter the tests being run by class, name or test target, or just run all tests. The UI updates as tests succeed or fail.

What do you think?

Yeah makes sense, or replace embedded with contained

I'm guessing we're leaving out package editing until it stabilises in 5.7?

I also think we should call out Steven for the initial work on the extension.

Otherwise LGTM other than a few nits

+# Swift Extension for Visual Studio Code


We should add post header

Example:

--- layout: post published: true date: 2022-06-15 09:20:00 title: Announcing the Language Workgroup author: tkremenek about: Ted Kremenek is a member of the Swift Core Team and serves as the voice of the Project Lead. Ted manages the Languages and Runtimes group at Apple. ---

FYI, about the author does not have to be included in the post header. This information is fetched from authors.yml.

I see @adam-fowler is not in the author list though. Might be a good idea to add yourself. 🙂

Is the author link the swift forum username?

@adam-fowler The identifier is only used internally and can be anything, but preferably one of your usernames. You can also add twitter and github properties which will link to your profiles.

Do we want a screenshot or anything in the post? Right now the post is mostly a bunch of (good) text. I wonder if visually this could be more interesting, and we can show the plugin.

Screenshots would be good. Maybe of the dependency view and the test explorer. There are examples in the README for the GitHub project https://github.com/swift-server/vscode-swift/blob/main/README.md

tkremenek · 2022-07-01T16:00:00Z

We don't need to be shy with screenshots, even small ones. Many Swift.org posts are a bit dry with being mostly text. Given that this is talking about specific tool work where we have the opportunity to show the extension in action, there is an opportunity to show all the key pieces that are working.

adam-fowler · 2022-07-01T17:08:08Z

@tkremenek where should I put the images?

shahmishal · 2022-07-01T17:10:11Z

@tkremenek where should I put the images?

You can place them here:

How about a movie? I've just added a symbol completion movie.

The video looks great!

I believe that @cthielen, who manages the swiftlang Twitter handle, is out on vacation for a couple days. I think we should hold the post until we can be sure we can tweet at the time the post goes out. I'll check on timing.

		### Test Explorer

		The Test Explorer provides a UI similar to the Xcode Tests UI. The UI contains a tree view, including all the test targets, with each XCTestCase class embedded within those targets and each individual test embedded within those classes. Tests can be run outside of a debugger or in the debugger. You can run individual tests, or filter the tests being run by class or test target, or just run all tests. The UI updates as tests succeed or fail.
