[cucumber/react] Hard to read scenario outline status when multiple scenarios fail at different steps

[DavidL06]

Summary

When examples fail at different steps, it can get complicated to know which one failed at which step for a scenario outline.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to clearly identify where each example fails even if they fail at different steps.

Current Behavior

Sometimes, it might be easy to identify the failed steps with the error trace, but it can get complicated when the error trace is not that helpful.

Possible Solution

Maybe repeating the steps for every example might help clarifying. And make the examples collapsible could help avoiding a long list of examples by default.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a scenario outline with multiple examples
2. Make several examples fail at different step
3. Display the result using cucumber react

I like this idea!!

Yeh I'm definitely in favour of this too. Although I doubt I can contribute to this.

Out of curiousity, did you do the mock up using direct html manipulation? Or in an actual branch? It would probably be good to get @davidjgoss to take a look if you have any code, I know he's done some wizardry here recently.

I used a design tool so no code unfortunately.

Hey, yeah I like this too, I think the expand-in-place pattern would work well. I can try to incorporate this idea into the work I'm doing on cucumber/common#1391
