Also, do you have activated test discovery (I see in your video that in the status bar the test discovery is running)?
Don’t activate test discovery as this will work only with pytest (as in the Tensorflow addons .devcontainer) and other testing frameworks but not with bazel tests as in TF cause the official VSCode bazel extension seems that it is not actively developed anymore by the Bazel team (see the specific bazel test FR):

    There is a [Test Explorer UI extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ite…ms?itemName=hbenl.vscode-test-explorer) available, which itself provides a [Test Adapter API to discover and run tests](https://github.com/hbenl/vscode-example-test-adapter). An example of such test adapter is the [Catch2 and GoogleTest adapter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matepek.vscode-catch2-test-adapter).

It would be very neat if the vscode-bazel extension was integrating with either Test Explorer directly, or with the GoogleTest adapter, in order to provide the list of tests, and the ability to spawn a [Visual Studio Code Debugger instance](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cpp-debug) through the Test Explorer UI.
