Hmm if we're going down that path, I'd prefer to be more explicit about it. How about including the exact command that people can copy to re-run the failed test?
This is what the RSpec library (a Ruby testing library) does, and IMO it really gets it right. See this blog post here from a Ruby core member for some comments (under "things I like about RSpec", and yes, that's the actual domain name): https://tenderlovemaking.com/2015/01/23/my-experience-with-minitest-and-rspec.html Thoughts?
