And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Tests do not appear and cannot be run, sometimes

Checklist

  • [X ] The issue is about this extension and NOT about a fork.
  • [X ] Check the known issues list.
  • [ X] The latest version of the extension was used.

Describe the bug

This is my first time using this extension, so perhaps the actual bug description is more fundamental, but at the very least most of the time my tests are not showing the “Run” “Debug” etc buttons on top of the individual tests. They have shown on occasion but then disappear at some point. Log attached below.

To Reproduce

  1. Write some catch2 tests.
  2. Install the extension in vscode.
  3. Observe the individual test runner buttons appear.
  4. Do stuff (not sure what, but after some amount of time, the buttons disappear).

Uninstalling and reinstalling the extension causes the buttons to reappear. I will add more info as I discover it.

Desktop

  • Extension Version: v3.2.12 (latest)
  • VS Code Version: latest
  • Catch2 / Google Test / DOCTest Version: catch2 v2
  • OS Type and Version: windows 10 pro, linux ubuntu 18.04 on wsl2
  • Using remote-ssh/docker/wsl?: yes see above

@matepek FYI today my tests are showing in WSL2, for the first time ever. I haven’t done anything other than regular VSCode updates.
