Mini.Test - Changes in Nightly may break your screenshot tests

[olimorris]

There have been some changes in Neovim Nightly, yesterday, that have changed how the default statusline looks in Neovim.

The impact of this is it broke my tests that use screenshots for assertions.

To fix it I added the following lines to my tests:

child.o.statusline = ""
child.o.laststatus = 0

Yes, indeed, it might. Thanks for sharing!

One extra observation here is that having cursor position shown in statusline can be a valid way to simultaneously test cursor position with screenshot. So maybe setting 'statusline' to %l, %v is worth here (with default laststatus=2, of course).

For reference, I did go with setting informative statusline. Having information about file name is rarely useful (but sometimes it is), but information about current line and column (both byte and virtual) is useful. This resulted in to a lot of changed screenshots, though.
