hi there,  
I’m seeing here [Test Item Framework · Julia in VS Code](https://www.julia-vscode.org/docs/stable/userguide/testitems/#Managing-test-processes)

> To enable this, all test processes show up in the Julia Workspace, alongside any REPL or Notebook processes that might also be running. And you can terminate Julia test processes via this UI by clicking on the `Stop Test Process` button. In this screenshot there are four test processes running:

however the screenshot is missing and I cannot find this button. Anyone? thanks!

1. Go to the “Julia” tab (as opposed to “Testing”, where testitems results appear).
2. There, you’ll see your Julia workspace with different processes. Here I have one open Julia REPL and one test process (it’s easier to see it if you fold the Julia REPL process)
3. The red square button allowing to stop a process appears when you hover over its line.
