nvim-neotest
Does not seem to work on Windows
I'm running windows 11 and this does not seem to work for me. I had success with dotnet and dart test plugins using neotest. So I know basic features of neotest are working.
However, there seems to be trouble getting anything to run. Test detection works great, but running the tests and getting output does not work.
I'm running trying to run it for my neovim plugins. I've created a simple simple project to try out this plugin. I'm including those files here for reference.
There is just a single test with these contents
describe("My test test group --", function()
it("should work", function()
assert.are.same(1, 1)
end)
end)
Which should work every time.
Running this command to test from the terminal works for me

Here is an image of the test tree which just shows spinning loading bars forever
I've already started diving into the code and will create a pull request to help compare my work and get more suggestions. I've found problems with getting the init.lua path and also trying to generate the new path to the run_tests.lua script. But, even after these fixes I'm still stuck! What could be wrong? I'm not sure where to start debugging next.
Unfortunately even after the recent updates this still does not work on my Windows setup. I have no problems using my arch Linux computer setup. The problems I'm seeing with Windows is the same as before - the tests are discovered but once you try to run any of them the cool backslash + forward slash spinner just goes and goes forever.
I'm running neovim version 0.10.2 and Lazy plugin manager shows I have commit 3523adc checked out from the master branch for this plugin.
Here is another screenshot
Running the command :PlenaryBustedFile % works fine and produces this output

So something is still strange with the plugin.
I've already tried digging through the source without much success. I want to help resolve the problem but could use some suggestions on where to to get started. For example, I'm guessing there is logging some where because of the configuration value for log level, however I can't find where these logs would be.
Here is my entire configuration for reference
