Hi I'm struggling to get the failing tests to fail locally and I can't understand how to re-run the failing PR/CI checks on github - is there any guidance you can point me at other than the 'contributing' wiki? Thanks, Bob

@bobwalker99 You many not have the permissions to run them. I will trigger a re-run.

Thanks @karthiknadig, much appreciated.

I think the failures highlighted by my change are partly due to this bit of code in the test setup:

The test is creating hybrid posix / windows paths which accidentally worked before in the test, but wouldn't happen in real life. I'm not sure whether the right thing to do is to try to just change the test, or try to handle it in the discovery parsing code. Both are potentially problematic.

It's also quite difficult to evaluate locally as I can't get the test grep to work to the point where I can just run this single test quickly and step though it, so I'm having to guess at it to a large extent. When I run the larger suite I get various other errors, including errors about missing nose and pytest, which are present in my activated virtualenv. I can't see where it decides which version of python to use for the tests?

All the best,
Bob

@bobwalker99 You probably have to set CI_PYTHON_PATH=<python path> for these tests to work correctly.

This configuration below worked for me to narrow down to the nose test suite:

{
            "name": "Tests (Single Workspace, VS Code, *.test.ts)",
            "type": "extensionHost",
            "request": "launch",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
            "args": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/src/test",
                "--disable-extensions",
                "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}",
                "--extensionTestsPath=${workspaceFolder}/out/test"
            ],
            "env": {
                "VSC_PYTHON_CI_TEST_GREP": "Unit Tests - nose"
            },
            "stopOnEntry": false,
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/out/**/*.js", "!${workspaceFolder}/**/node_modules**/*"],
            "preLaunchTask": "Compile",
            "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"]
        },

Can you rebase with the latest main? I can look into the tests and see what needs to be changed.

Done, thanks @karthiknadig
