Notification about missing python test suite on non-python projects

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.51.1
Extension version: v2020.11.371526539
OS and version: macOS 10.15.7 (19H2) | Darwin x64 19.6.0
Python version: 3.8.5
Type of virtual environment used: venv
Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance

Expected behaviour

If I open a project that doesn’t have any python file, I shouldn’t be getting any annoying popup about pytest not being installed, as it’s not relevant at all. Even for python project seems a bit annoying to get this toast notifications, but I believe this should be addressed at vs code level

Actual behaviour

Opening a project that doesn’t have any python file results in a toast notification prompting to install pytest Screenshot 2020-11-28 at 21 27 02 Screenshot 2020-11-28 at 21 26 02

Steps to reproduce:

Have the "python.testing.pytestEnabled": true setting
Open any non python project (or python projects without pytest installed)

Oh, nice catch, thanks for linking it 🙂️

although this will still mean popping up this notification when opening any python project… so the suggestion for only showing it once still sounds reasonable to me

will there be a follow up issue to this one for adding the “do not show again” button then? or this isn’t something that you want to change?
