@sthiriet Sorry I wasn’t clear with the title. The problem was any file or folder starting with py. The test runner and test discovery use different mechanisms to identify tests for running and identifying results (we are addressing this in the current milestone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/17242).

[cbernard-psee]

facing also the same issue in WSL environment, test explorer tab is not able to extract the results. I cannot apply the proposed workaround ( renaming test directory from “tests” to “pytest” ) . @karthiknadig : Do you know when #17242 is planned to be released?
