Research direction

Start at the PlenaryTestFile entry point used by the shown keymap and reproduce the issue with the provided Lua test containing an it block but no describe block. Trace the test harness handling of that structure; done means the test runs without the current error and reports the assertion normally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When running the test harness with the following keymap:

vim.keymaps.set("n", "<leader>tt", "<plug>PlenaryTestFile", {})

With a test:

-- describe("desc block", function()
	it("does the thing", function()
		assert.equal(1, 2)
	end)
-- end)

This error is presented:

Uncommenting the describe block fixes the error:


describe("desc block", function()
	it("does the thing", function()
		assert.equal(1, 2)
	end)
end)
