How to launch each test file in a new VS Code instance?

[ada-la]

Is it possible to do this? I'd like to launch and run each file in a new instance so that the tests have a clean slate each time.

I do not think that we have designed the extester to work this way. It based on mocha and is spawned per suite. But I believe that you could probably workaround this using one of two approaches. On github actions (for example) you could parametrized npm script to run ui tests on different configuration (test cases) or you could probably chain multiple setup-and-run commands in npm script - I am not sure this will work, you could probably try.

Also you could call Extester#runTests multiple times and pass file path as argument. However this approach does not work on all environments for reasons reported in #485.
