Tests hidden in VS Code's 'Explorer' cannot be found

[nils-soderman]

To keep my VS Code explorer clean, I tend to exclude out & dist folders using the files.exclude setting. This however, leads to this extension failing to locate the tests as it relies on vscode.workspace.findFiles.

Maybe glob can be used instead to locate all tests on the filesystem?

Cheers,

@andreamah is this something I can use the new findFiles2 API to fix? Sorry I lost track of where all the proposals are 🙈

Current usage is simple:

vscode-extension-test-runner/src/controller.ts

Line 419 in 9d6f957

for (const file of await vscode.workspace.findFiles(relativePattern)) {

Yes, you can use the new findFiles2 for this! You can use the existing shape for findFiles2 to achieve this right now, but I'd try to be ready to move to the new shape once I introduce it. You would just set useDefaultExcludes to false.
