@claudius-kienle, thank you for submitting this issue! I just had a quick clarifying question before I dive into the desired behavior here. In order to get your test explorer to look like this, do you first discover tests in the first workspace and then the second workspace? Ie does it take two steps for you to see this list in your test explorer? |
Yes exactly, I execute {
"python.testing.unittestArgs": [
"-v",
"-s",
"./tests",
"-p",
"test*.py"
],
"python.testing.pytestEnabled": false,
"python.testing.unittestEnabled": true
} |
@claudius-kienle, great thank you for the quick reply! |
@brettcannon and @luabud what is the desired workflow do you think in this case? Since it requires a step to discover tests in each workspace should a multi-root workspace have the workspace listed on discovering tests for a single workspace or just for discovering more than one workspace? Additionally should the workspace be displayed the same way as a folder is (so above |
Ideally a multi-root workspace would have one more level of hierarchy per workspace at the top of the tree. Otherwise I would consider it all the same as if it was a single-root workspace. |
Hello! We have just finished our testing rewrite and are beginning the roll out to users. I have tested this issue with the re-write and think it has your desired behavior with the workspaces seperated! If you would like to try it yourself, you need to be on vscode insiders and then add this setting to your users |
I am using the multi-root workspace in vs code to open multiple python packages, each with their own

tests
folder containing the tests for that package.The test explorer displays all tests, but does not group them by the workspace they come from.
For a simple multi-root workspace with just two packages, this looks like the following screenshot:
Since all folders are named in the same way, its cumbersome to determine which entry is from which workspace.
I also searched through the extension's settings, but didn't find anyting related.
I think the best solution would be to group the tests simililarly as in the repositories in the source control view. What do you think?
