Testing Debug Restart Fails C# - (Correlate debug sessions and test runs related)

[chrisdel101]

This is report similar to #228916 but related to C# not Python. Just reporting it here based on a this tip https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/228916#issuecomment-2420082153, and since #214486 is now closed.

I am using the latest VScode and C# Microsoft extension, C# dev kit being the most relevant here.

Using the testing explorer, the "restart button" fails.

• When clicked, the tests just exit with message "No process with the specified id is currently running."
• The testing side panel also closes and returns to the file structure (default) view. I have to re-click back into the testing panel and click the tests I want to re-run.
• Yes I am aware there are keyboard run shortcuts, but when using the mouse, having to flip back takes alot of time.
• Having this restart feature actually work would be a HUGE time saver. It's already so awesome to have test debugging support. Having this restart support too would be epic.

Note:

• There seems to be an issue with Omin-sharp on my system. I can't access it at all.
• I'm new to C# and barely know what Omni-sharp is. Just reporting this in case it is somehow linked with the testing features of C# & C# Dev kit, and might be causing this bug.

---

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• Don't know - didn't try, but seems unlikely to make diff

• VS Code Version: Latest
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using C# Dev kit and N-unit - run tests in test explorer
2. Push the restart button shown clearly here. Test process exits with message "No process with the specified id is currently running."

How do u you know it’s an extension? The only extensions I have are the microsoft c# and net ones (3 total) and GH copilot. I think the MS are required for test explorer to work even? I did a fresh install and these are the only ones I’ve added. Any assistance is appreciated !

The C# extension is the place to file this. This is the repo for VS Code itself. Thanks!

Hi @connor4312 Okie. U told me to file it here I thought in #228916. At least that’s what I thought u meant? So this is def an C# dev kit issue then? confused since non C# ppl are having it over there in other issue
