Consider Rmd reporter
I think this kind of reporter would also allow testthat to continue to be useful for autograding tools like nbgrader and otter-grader? In these contexts, we need test_that function calls to interactively throw an error. Currently to continue to use testthat for this purpose we are pinning to v2.3.*.
We have tried FailReporter, however, it incrementally keeps increasing the number of fails the more a code chunk or code cell is run in an interactive session, even if the code is corrected to make the test pass...
@ttimbers it would be more useful to file an issue describing how you need test_that() to fail so we could fix the problem directly.
I can certainly do that! I was just first reading through the issues first to see if anyone else had a similar need since the change from 2.3 > 3.0.
OK, I tried to explain it here and give a reprex: https://github.com/r-lib/testthat/issues/1430
