Describe the bug

Consider the file tree below

src
  └ tests
  | ├ helper_package
  | | └ helper.go
  | └ a_test.go

I have a test in a_test.go, that uses a helper function in helper_package.helper.go. This helper function logs some errors on t.Error.

I run the test in a_test.go using the Test Explorer. VS Code tries to automatically GOTO the line in helper.go where I log something, but the file path is wrong. VS Code redirects me to src/tests/helper.go, which doesn't exist, so it shows a prompt like the attached picture. helper.go is placed in src/tests/helper_packages/helper.go.

I expected VS Code to redirect me to src/tests/helper_package/helper.go

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download the minimal_reproducible_project.zip
2. Unzip it
3. Open debug-tests-path in VS Code
4. Use the Test Explorer to run the tests
5. See the file not found error prompt
6. Also see the Test Output terminal, which prints incorrect paths as well.
