Hi @CsCherrYY, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Suggestions for Adding Integration Tests to the Dependency View

• Leverage the vscode-test library to launch VS Code and run integration tests programmatically:

  • Repository & docs: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-test
  • Define a test runner in package.json that calls runTests({ extensionDevelopmentPath, extensionTestsPath, launchArgs: [...] }).

• In your test suite (e.g. under test/integration):

  • Use await vscode.commands.executeCommand('java.dependency.view.refresh') (or the correct view ID) to open/refresh the Dependency View.
  • Query the tree via the extension API (e.g. vscode.window.createTreeView) or UI automation to verify expected nodes.
  • Clean up by closing editors/views between tests to ensure isolation.

• Mirror patterns from existing integration tests in other VS Code extensions:

  • Ensure your CI workflow installs dependencies, builds the extension, and then runs npm test to execute integration specs.

• Support additional Gradle configurations: discusses enabling IntelliSense for an integrationTest source set in Gradle projects. May offer ideas on configuring test project layouts.
