vscode extension – Test CLI vs Your own Test Runner

I’m following the vscode
Testing Extensions docs. There seem to be 2 different configurations described.

1. The test CLI
2. Your own Runner

My questions:

1. Are these configurations mutually exclusive or can / should they be configured together.
2. Which use cases are better suited for the CLI vs the custom configuration?

>Solution :

They are not mutually exclusive. You can use both, choose one based on your needs:

• Use Test CLI for straightforward integration with established tools

• Use custom runner for unique or complex requirements

• Test CLI: Best for simplicity and consistency with existing frameworks

• Custom runner: Best for custom or specialized testing needs

It’s how I use them, sometimes together
