Yes, there is a spinner in the R API, the C++ API lacks several features, unfortunately.

I agree that this would be great, but yeah, this does seem like a lot of maintenance work. So at this point I would say that it is unlikely that...

Maybe, but we would need to double check even `tools::check_packages_in_dir_details()` because it only works for the _current_ R version for sure, whereas our parser should be able to parse output...

This is more of an issue for rcmdcheck I think.

OK, so this is actually a bit more involved, because parsing this information from the test results is not reliable, it depends on the reporter you are using. Ideally, we...

I think that with the printing of the test results on GHA (and optionally locally as well), this is not so important any more. Locally you can always look at...

OTOH, we could still add some reporting to testthat, I think that would open up some new possibilties. E.g. testthat could write a summary of the results to a file...

Yeah, I closed that one, this one is older and has more participants.

Those are not necessarily the same as `--as-cran`, though, and it is also only one cran machine. There is a good chance that we would be creating yet another check...

I am afraid you'll need to provide a reproducible example.
