Be able to mark some tests as "Extra Credit" and these are tallied outside of the "main" tests

Currently, each autograding test "flows" into a single total: if any one test fails, the set is marked "red" while if all tests succeed the set is marked "green" (and students receive a long line of encouraging emoji). This really makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, it would be nice to be able to mark one or perhaps two tests as "Extra Credit" meaning that those tests go "outside" of the main set. For example, if a student's submission passed all of the "main" tests, the autograder would still give them a "green" (with emoji) and the "Extra Credit" tests would be independent of the "main" set.

I had the same need. I've created a PR for the modification - #47. From the look of this repo though, I don't expect it to get merged.

I am now using @stevenbitner 's https://github.com/stevenbitner/autograding instead of education/autograding. The extra: true works really nicely. (And it also builds the badges #31 , for anyone who hasn't patched it into their workflows/READMEs yet.) Thank you @stevenbitner for sharing your work!!

I am creating my own test setups so using a different fork for the autograding workflow is not a problem but I understand that this does not help anyone who would like to directly use the Classroom interface. All I can say is that it would be nice to see the community improvements being eventually merged in education/autograding...
