Hi! First of all, thanks for the great work on Maester — I’m currently evaluating the tool and really enjoying it.
While testing, I noticed something that feels a bit confusing when running Maester with tags to execute only a subset of tests.
Test overview should only show the number of tests that were actually selected
When I start Maester with specific tags (for example, tests tagged “Entra ID P2”), the dashboard still shows the total number of all available tests. This makes the overview look a bit misleading because it suggests that thousands of tests were in scope, even though only a small subset was actually selected.
It would be much clearer if the counters (Total tests, Passed, Failed, etc.) only reflected the tests that matched the selected tags.
Markdown and Excel reports show all tests, even those that were not part of the run
In the View section (Markdown/Excel/Print), the generated reports currently include every test script. This means that a lot of tests show up as “NotRun” simply because they were outside the selected tag scope.
The result is:
very long reports
lots of unnecessary “NotRun” entries
slower loading in the browser
It would be much more helpful if these reports only included the tests that were actually part of the run (executed, skipped, failed, errored) and left out the rest.
In short:
It would be great if both the dashboard and the exported reports only included the tests that were actually selected based on the chosen tags. This would make the results much clearer and easier to work with.
Thanks a lot for considering this — and again, great tool!
