Description

I noticed that your VS Code extension does not support Live Share, so basically the guest cannot see host's tests in the test explorer window.

When using Live Share with your test explorer, this is how the host's test explorer window looks like:
image_2019-08-17_21-01-55

And this is how the guest's window looks like:
image_2019-08-17_20-04-23

Please let me know if you are interested in having such functionality in the extension, because me and @Temurson would be glad to have it and would be excited to work on it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with VS Code Live Share, comparing the host and guest test explorer windows shown in the report. Trace the extension's test explorer integration and determine how the host's tests are exposed to the guest. Done means the guest can see the host's tests in the test explorer while using Live Share.
