Test Explorer

[Kradirhamik]

VS Code should have an official extension for a test explorer, that supports Jest, Jest-Cucumber and automation tests of PlayWright out of the box.

I disagree. Doing that would add bloat for people who don't need it.

I agree. But not for a specific testing framework

It is abstracted into a general purpose, similar to view

Such different test framework extensions can create test legends

interface TestCase {
  label: string
  location: {
    file: Uri
    start: number
    end: number
  }
}

export async function activate(
  context: vscode.ExtensionContext
): Promise<void> {
	vscode.test.add({
      label: 'testxxx',
      location: {xxxxx}
    })

    // defined how to run this test case
    vscode.test.registry(function (test: TestCase) {
	  
    })

    // defined how to run all test case
    vscode.test.registryRunAll(function (test: TestCase) {
	  // defined how to run this test case
    })
}

Then add a test case in the sidebar

Each test case added by the extension has a different tree view in sidebar

The idea is not to have it in VS Code by default, but rather just having such extension exist for people who need it - so there would be not bloating

Yes, I just meant to give an example. It should support popular test automation frameworks out of the box ideally.

Then I'm not clear why you asked for an official one.

This one seems popular and well rated.

But it seems you already tried it and had a problem - hbenl/vscode-test-explorer#108

Maybe try this Test Adapter extension, which seems to be actively developed, and allows issues to be raised:
