Support disabling tests

[kawazoe]

Right now, vitest doesn't support xit form to disable a test or xdescribe to disable a whole group. My testing methodology often leads me to write a bunch of empty tests as reminders of what I should be implementing next. With other testing framework, I usually flag them as disabled until I actually implement the tests. This highlight them in test reports which I find quite useful to get a sense of my progress. It's a little something I miss in vitest and the vitest ui.

xit and xdescribe are just aliases for test.skip and describe.skip respectively, which Vitest supports already:

• test.skip
• describe.skip

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that.

Will vitest support the actual xit and fit aliases? they are more convenient than test.skip etc.

No. If you want to alias it, you can do so yourself in the setup file:

import { it, describe } from 'vitest'
globalThis.xit = it.skip
globalThis.xdescribe = describe.skip

nice, cool! this should be on the docs somewhere.
