Add "Python Test Log" to the command palette

[davetapley]

AFAIK the Python Test Log on the Output panel is the only(?) place to see verbatim output from unittest (the Test Results panel just prints a summary).

... but Python Test Log is not in the command palette 😞

Can it be added? Happy to do a PR but not sure where 🤔

@davetapley The icon right here should also open the output channel I think, is that not the case?

[davetapley]

@karrtikr unfortunately not, it also opens TEST RESULTS (which is already in the palette, but doesn't show print)

Looking into this- thanks

Hello! Following up to say that I can also see this button is not working. I actually tried it with the testing rewrite experiment turned off and it also didn't work so this may be an overarching issue not just one related to the rewrite. Will look to fix on the new test adapter.

@eleanorjboyd thank you 🙏🏻

Another pet-peeve while you're in the code:

If I've got Python Test Log open, when I run test (e.g. from Test: Rerun last run) it will automatically switch back to the Test Results panel... and then I have to go manually click back through to Python Test Log again. Quite irritating 😑

---

As a current workaround I can move Test Results to the bottom panel and shrink it down, then I can put Python Test Log in the secondary side bar and it'll keep focus 🤪

Hi! This setting should stop the focus from changing after test run!

"testing.openTesting": "neverOpen"

Amazing! Thank you 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Im actually going to close this in favor of #21861 since we will be removing "python test logs" with the output change. Thanks!
