green -vv does not print test docstrings

See original GitHub issue

I just installed green 2.16.1, and green -vv doesn’t print test method docstrings. For instance, with test_foo.py from the readme, the output for green -vv is this:

test_foo
  TestAnswer
.   test_expected
.   test_type
  TestSchool
.   test_age
.   test_food

If I set the verbosity level to 3 with green -vvv, it does print the docstrings.

Fixed. Updated the screenshots as well, for good measure.

Correct, that is the design of the verbosity levels:

verbosity=1 (default)

dots

verbosity=2 (`-vv`)

Class & method names

verbosity=3 (`-vvv`)

Version information
Class names
Method docstrings

Perhaps we need to make that explicit in the help output?
