I'd like to help improve the documentation of the test adapter example if possible.

Some things that I'd like to see, or that could use improvement:

• An example of what the runTests() function might look like.
• An example of updating the tests 'live' as the test suite outputs to stdout.
• An example unit test for the extension.
• An explanation of what exactly cancel() should do. Should it just kill the process, or should it also fire a "Test Suite Finished" event?

I'd also appreciate better documentation for the Adapter API and how it works, I know we can just read the code comments but I missed a decent number of features when creating my adapter due to the lack of documentation, e.g. the existence of tooltips or an error_message attribute when loading the tests. Is there a good library for generating a documentation website from the existing TypeScript files, and would you be interested in doing that?

Also, the README for the example should definitely link to the API and utils repositories.

Thanks for the Test Explorer! It's been a bit difficult to build my adapter at times, but I've also been learning TypeScript as part of it and I'm pretty happy with my progress. :)

Instead of forking the repository, it could be used as a template :)

I cloned this test adaptor to play around with it. I followed the "Setup" instructions to install dependencies, compile the code and launch an extension development host with debugger attached to it. However, the test explorer doesn't load the fake tests hardcoded in fakeTests.ts after opening a folder in the EDH without any error messages in debug console.

Hey man, first I wanna say that I really like your work. Really useful. I was thinking of making an implementation for angular using this adapter. Could you give me some pointers or where should I start looking for implementing loading the tests, running them etc? Do you have a common approach you used in your current implementations for loading this tests and making the implementation of the different adapters?.

I am definitely not an expert but I am pretty sure that someone is suffering for not having this as much as me.

Thanks
