Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the TypeScript handling for “Run Test with Coverage” in the Test Runner for Java extension and how VS Code Test Explorer exposes run results; done means establishing a generic way to retrieve each run’s coverage report file.

Description

ai-triaged enhancement low-priority test-reporting

When running "Run Test with Coverage" from the VS Code Test Explorer using the "Test Runner for Java" extension, I am unable to find a generic way to locate the coverage report file for each test run.

I am looking for a solution to programmatically retrieve the coverage report file using TypeScript. Any guidance on how to achieve this would be appreciated.
