• from terminal create a symlink ln -s target_folder symlink_to_target_folder (this is for mac specifically)
• open vscode with the folder symlink_to_target_folder can be done with code symlink_to_target_folder in terminal
• from command palette use create environment command
• in terminal install pytest via python -m pip install pytest
• run test discovery (click beaker icon), test UI will be populated
