Force cabal test to show details by default

Question

Every time I run cabal test I pass the --show-details=always argument to get more informations on the tests, in particular for small programs. I'm wondering if there is a way to set show-details to always in the cabal file. I searched on the documentation but I didn't find it. What I have to set and where is the documentation about this?

Looking at the source, I see that TestFlags are not saved in ~/.cabal/config, so currently you can only set them on the command-line. Please open a new issue on the bug tracker.
