This will be _fantastic_ when all the bugs get ironed out. Thank you for developing this.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working for me. Using this MWE

```julia
module Differentiation
using TestItems, TestItemRunner

@testitem "First tests" begin
    @test true
end

end # module 

```

I also get the circle spinning, though not forever. Eventually it crashes:
