Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior described for a disabled test and for a test in a disabled suite, including cases where setup produces no output. Trace the VS Code test-result rendering entry point and determine how a disabled result can be distinguished from a passing one; done means the UI clearly identifies ignored tests without presenting them as ordinary green passes.

Description

ai-triaged enhancement junit low-priority test-reporting upstream

Might be a nice usability improvement to show a notification or special icon when trying to run a disabled test, or a test in a disabled test suite. Today - it just shows as green, which at times may cause several minutes of frantic debugging trying to understand why a test is showing green without seemly doing anything (as sometimes test may fail in before/beforeClass stage and not produce any output - thus causing the same visual queues).
