Pre-release version breaks Source Control auto-refresh

[tylerlaprade]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Bizarrely, I have narrowed down this seemingly unrelated behavior regarding Source Control to the latest pre-release version of the Python extension. Source Control does not refresh any data, including current branch and pending changes in files, when on the latest version.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Ensure you're on the latest version of VSCode as well as the pre-release version of the Python Extension
2. Check out a branch in Git
3. Switch branches using the command line
4. The "current branch" in the status bar does not update

Diagnostic data

Hi! Do you have testing enabled? What about refresh tests on save? Might be related to a problem I just fixed: #24611 where testing (like discovery) was blocking the main node thread

[tylerlaprade]

@eleanorjboyd , I don't think I do. What are the relevant settings to check?

[eleanorjboyd]

In your settings (either workspace or user) you would see these:

    "python.testing.unittestEnabled": false,
    "python.testing.pytestEnabled": true,

[tylerlaprade]

I see, thanks @eleanorjboyd! I do in fact have pytestEnabled set to true.

[tylerlaprade]

Did your fix go live in the pre-release version in the past hour? I'm no longer experiencing the issue even while on pre-release.

[eleanorjboyd]

hm im not entirely sure- a build failed and then got published so I will have to check if this change got in with it

[karthiknadig]

The fix should be in this version v2024.23.2024121701

[eleanorjboyd]

Let me know if this is not the case and I will reopen- thanks
