Hi there,

i followed the instructions in quickstart [Quickstart | Great Expectations](https://docs.greatexpectations.io/docs/oss/tutorials/quickstart/) and changed the max\_value in the second expectation:

```auto
validator.expect_column_values_to_be_between( "passenger_count", min_value=1, max_value=4)

```

From my understanding this should lead to a failing expectation, which would then be displayed in the generated html. **However, this expectation just completely disappears from the html document.** Via debugger it seems to disappear at the step:

```auto
checkpoint_result = checkpoint.run()

```

This also happens for different data sources and different expectations, different numbers of expectations: as soon as the expectation would fail, it instead disappears.

Advice / Insights welcome. 🙂

Apparently i was interpreting the Doc wrong - it is default to discard failed expectations and in order to change that one needs to add a flag like so:

```auto
validator.save_expectation_suite(discard_failed_expectations=False)

```

Hey @leehawk787 thanks raising this. We’ve updated our Quickstart to make this more obvious for future users: [Quickstart | Great Expectations](https://deploy-preview-9782.docs.greatexpectations.io/docs/oss/tutorials/quickstart)
