Show incremental progress when running tests

[tdamsma]

When running many tests from the TEST:PYTHON sidebar, all tests are shown to be in progresss (spinning arrow) until all tests have been run.

It would be much nicer if the spinning arrow icon is updated as soon has the test has run. In the Python Test Log this information is readily available, so you can directly see which tests have passed, failed, are running now or are scheduled to be run.

Possibly related to #1718, but that is more about the spinner in the bottom bar

Is there any progress on this one? One needs to run all tests before discovering that any test failed. See below how PyCharm reports progress:

Thank you for your time.

the real time updates to individual test's status was working in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LittleFoxTeam.vscode-python-test-adapter. I had used this extension before the MS python extension provided its own implementation of Test explorer

We are going through old issues and we noticed that no one from the team had replied to this issue. I want to apologize for the oversight and to let you know that the issue was reviewed by the team and triaged (as shown by the labels applied to this issue).

Thanks @brettcannon

This would be a major improvement. waiting for 100+ tests to finish before being able to know what failed is a big pain

Fixed by #16769 but only for unittest framework, not pytest.
