Hi! Same issue
I use Jest. My OS is Windows.
And use GitCMD instead original CMD console.

I guess that issue because path join with \ because it Windows. But GitCMD expect / and as result tries find node_modules.binjest

const { join } = require("path");
console.log(join("node_modules",` ".bin", "jest"));

Console output will be

node_modules.bin\jest

And try find it in GitCMD

$ find node_modules.bin\jest
find: ‘node_modules.binjest’: No such file or directory

Any ideas for fix?

Like Idea is to make function doesModuleExist instead doesFileExist and use require.resolve instead exists.
So NodeJs modules will solve this check instead FS.
@g3offrey wdyt?

Same issue here... is there a workaround available to force a specific test runner?

Hello,

Please accept my apologies for the late answer.
I published a status about this extension. 😞
(TL;DR: I won't be able to work on it anymore)

Hi guys!
I just fixed the Windows path issue in my version of this project and I think it might have solved this issue too.
Could you try it out and see whether it really solved it? I would much appreciate it (:

I had the same issue caused by opening the test from a "multi project" folder. There were no node_modules in the root, therefore the runner did not found mocha in the .bin.

Fixed by opening the project as a multi root setup, so each project was opened as a new root. Then it works perfectly.
