Description

I believe ultimately this is a consequence of the testcase name mangling that pytest-xdist does (adding @ to the testcase name).

I don't know if this should be considered a pytest-xdist issue or a vscode Python extension issue...

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue in VS Code Test Explorer with pytest-xdist and --dist=loadgroup, then trace how the mangled testcase name is presented; the issue is done when both tests run and are displayed correctly, with ownership between the two projects established.
