Useful for IDE tests...
- .NET 8
- VsCode
- VsCode Extensions: C# Dev Kit
When executing the "Test1" in UnitTest1.cs in VsCode,
I expect that the failing test opens the VsCode diff viewer,
because it is defined in ModuleInitializer.cs.
...this works as expected.
- the diff viewer is opened when running
dotnet testfrom the cli - the diff viewer is not opened when running the test from within VsCode
The last bullet point is the part I don't understand...
VsCode on Windows is installed here:

Clicking on the red cross symbol to the left of line 7 in the above screenshot opens the VsCode diff viewer:
