100Tests are located inside `src/test` and are named `*.test.ts`. They use the
101[Mocha](https://mochajs.org) test framework and the builtin Node
102[assert](https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html) module. Unlike normal Node tests
103they must be hosted inside a VS Code instance. This can be done in one of two
104ways:
105
1061. When `F5` debugging in VS Code select the `Extension Tests` configuration
107 from the drop-down at the top of the Debug View. This will launch a temporary
108 instance of VS Code. The test results will appear in the "Debug Console" tab
109 of the primary VS Code instance.
110
1112. Run `npm test` from the command line. Although this is initiated from the
112 command line it is not headless; it will also launch a temporary instance of
113 VS Code.
114
115Due to the requirements of running the tests inside VS Code they are **not run
116on CI**. When making changes to the extension please ensure the tests are not
117broken locally before opening a Pull Request.
