Troubleshooting
If the Test view doesn't show your tests or anything else doesn't work as expected, you can check any error messages from the runner in NXunit Test output channel. Also you can turn on diagnostic logging using the following configuration options
(note: in multi-root workspaces, these options are always taken from the first workspace folder):
nxunitExplorer.logpanel: Write diagnotic logs to an output panel
