Description

Issue description

Test methods marked with @PendingFeature run and they are expected to fail. If they not fail they are marked as failures. In the reports those test methods are marked as "skipped" with a small notification "Pending Feature".
That is okay.

Is it however possible to additionally add the assertion error to the reports and still mark them as "skipped" and "Pending Feature"? As well as the reason from the annotation?

The assertion error is available as the test method run.

Trace how @PendingFeature test results are classified and rendered in reports. Check where the assertion error from the test run and the annotation reason are available, then verify that completed reports retain the skipped and Pending Feature labels while also showing both details.
