Working directory when running tests is VS Code

[korbinian90]

The working directory when running a @testset via the vs code UI is "C:\Users\korbi\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code". The default julia package test runs in "test" inside the package being tested.

This makes it complicated to reference data in the repository used for testing purposes. If the path working directory would be identical, @testset could simply be replaced with @testitem.

Otherwise, this is an amazing feature! The tests run instantly!

Solved this for now for my use case:

@testitem "test" begin
cd(@__DIR__)
load_data("data/small")
...

You can keep this open or close it as you prefer ;)

I think this is now properly fixed.
