   cyberskycat We adopted the new testing APIs from VS Code. It's using the left side 'testing decorations' to run tests now

   Hi chenyuanmac, 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.

   • JUnit 5 only recognizes nested test classes when they are annotated with Anutex (@nested) and defined as non-static inner classes. Static nested classes with test methods won’t be executed by the VS Code Test Runner.
   • To fix this, convert your static class into a non-static inner class and add Anutex (@nested), for example:

     class InnerClassTest {
         @Test
         void outMethod() { … }
     
         @Nested
         class InnerTest {
             @Test
             void innerMethod() { … }
         }
     }

   • Alternatively, move InnerTest to its own top-level .java file (e.g. InnerTest.java) so it’s discovered and run as a separate test class.
