Debugging tests via the extension is not working, something environmental #682
Description
Describe the bug
Using even the https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/tree/main/examples/basic everything works, except trying to debug in the extension. Be it the "testing" sidebar or "Debug test at Cursor" in a source file.
This would seem to be a local environmental issue, but the error is less than helpful and seems to be specific to this extension. Debugging in VSCode as a launch profile using npm run test:run command works perfectly, tests complete, breakpoints in ts files, etc. Node in the terminal path is 24.11.0.
Interestingly I only saw the "This is a bug in Vitest. Please, open an issue with reproduction." on the example test, and only one of the example files at that. But I saw "No task result for "suite.test.ts", ignoring" output and "No test suite found in file" UI in every project I tried to run debug tests on.

But a non-debug "Run Tests"
