Description

The new SDK allows for multiple .query.pq test files. Yay! This opens up the door for groups of unit tests to be organized into separate files, as well as for ad hoc playground queries to be kept in separate file(s) from formal unit tests.

At some point down the road, could a "Evaluate all files" command be added which would iterate through all .query.pq files and run each, opening a separate PQTest result pane for each?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start from the SDK's support for multiple .query.pq files and the existing PQTest result pane behavior. The issue names no files, entry points, or tests, so locate how a single file is evaluated and how its result pane is opened. Done means a command evaluates every .query.pq file and opens a separate result pane for each.
