Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with an abstract test class and one or more inheriting test classes in the VS Code Java test extension. Trace how Codelens entries and sidebar test execution are discovered and launched. Done means inherited classes expose runnable Codelens entries, while the abstract class is not offered as a directly runnable test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ai-triaged bug investigating junit low-priority test-discovery

Codelens appears for the abstract test class even though it cannot be run directly (IntelliJ redirects you to the classes that inherit from the abstract class instead ...)

Codelens does not appear on the classes that inherit from the abstract test class

Sidebar only runs tests in abstract class resulting in InstantiationException because it's abstract.
