Description
There is a [Test Explorer UI extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?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.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked Test Explorer UI extension and Test Adapter API, then compare the Catch2 and GoogleTest adapter example with the vscode-bazel extension. Done means exposing Bazel tests through Test Explorer and enabling a Visual Studio Code Debugger instance from the Test Explorer UI.
