Cannot run tests with VS code with default configuration

[cidrblock]

Summary

To run the tests using the VS code test tree, one of 2 configuration options needs to be added to the launch.json file within the .vscode directory.

Option 1:

Use the integratedTerminal which will have sourced the virtual environment prior to running `pytest'

{
            "name": "Python: Debug Tests",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "purpose": ["debug-test"],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
}

Option 2

Prepend the virtual environment's bin directory to the system PATH:

{
            "name": "Python: Debug Tests",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "purpose": ["debug-test"],
            "env": {"PATH": "${workspaceFolder}/venv/bin"},
            "justMyCode": false
}

This will allow the ansible-config executable to be found in the current virtual environment.

This is not an ansible-lint issue, but a known issue with VS Code, here for tracking and linking purposes.

Feel free to close this, or possible we might add it to the dev docs:

This seems to be fixed as we're able to see the tests in test explorer
