I am trying to run a debug the tests of my Python project inside the VS Code interface.
I followed the instruction from VS Code's website using pytest but when trying to run a test the output fails:
============================= test session starts =============================

Maybe VS Code doesn't have the authorization to write in AppData.
What concerns me is why is VS Code launching pytest with a junit-xml output option?
The command actually executed by VS Code is:
c:; cd 'c:\Users\myUserName\Projects\myProjectName'; & 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\venv-myProjectName\python.exe' 'c:\Users\myUserName\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2021.8.1105858891\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher' '53774' '--' 'c:\Users\myUserName\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2021.8.1105858891\pythonFiles\testlauncher.py' 'c:\Users\myUserName\Projects\myProjectName' 'pytest' '--override-ini' 'junit_family=xunit1' '--rootdir' 'c:\Users\myUserName\Projects\myProjectName' '--junit-xml=C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp-26696pYh1w3pF2cXx.xml' './myProjectName/tests/test_static_analysis.py::TestStaticAnalysisVesselForceOnLateralCenter::test_pos_surge_on_vessel'
When going in Settings > python.testing.pytestArgs it is empty.
- Where is this output path defined?
- How can I change it to be in the local working directory?
- Do I need to have a junit-xml output? Is it mandatory for VS Code UI to work?
