Resurfaced Bug: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'testsuites')

[adam-grant-hendry]

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

For some reason, Issue #14107 has resurfaced.

Expected vs. Actual

Expected: Testing for python works and Output tab has better debug information.

Actual: Testing does not run and Output tab does not provide information that can be used to debug problem.

Steps to reproduce:

1. git clone the pyvistaqt repo, pip install the requirements_*.txt files, and do local editable install py -m pip install -e .
2. Run tests to ensure all is well (Tests run in both terminal and Test Explorer)
3. Install pytest-mypy-plugins and run tests (Tests run in both terminal and Test Explorer)
4. Install pytest-mypy-testing and run tests, but tests now no longer run in terminal nor Test Explorer

• Uninstalling pytest-mypy-testing does not solve problem
• Uninstalling and reinstalling venv and dependencies does not solve problem
• Deleting all pytest cache folders does not solve problem

Running pytest in terminal simply outputs

i.e. testing won't run, and the Test Explorer output window shows:

@chrmarti Moving this to microsoft/vscode-python as it seems to be an issue with the python extension. See Issue #19367
