Now try to fix the code from the unit test when it breaks and redo the unit test, from the point where it broke.

So that you can run your unit test from some unknown state that may not even be reachable from the current text of the code, rather than running it from the start in a reproducible way? Why would that be something you want?
Unit testing was born in the Smalltalk community, good tooling is orthogonal to having tests.
Throw a breakpoint in the unit test.
