All I want is the compiler to utter the last started unittest if it

The tester does print out failing unit tests as they happen, it does not
save up the strings until the end.
Makes sense but it's not a reply to my point.
When you run a program under a debugger, it gives you the file/line of a
seg fault. Pretty much everything else a debugger does is fluff.
Many would disagree but that's besides the point.
All I'm saying is: instead of discussing the mechanics of why things
can't be made to work as they should and also discussing ways to make
things work with extra effort, let's focus on one thing and one thing
only: getting things to work the way they should work. And the way
things should work is clear: upon failure the unittest tells the point
of failure.
