I’m using the [TestItemRunner.jl](https://github.com/julia-vscode/TestItemRunner.jl) package to do my testing in VSCode.

The terminal panel recently started switching to another terminal to display the test output every time I run tests. I don’t want it to do this and did not knowingly set this to happen.

This is irritating because I have to manually switch back to the REPL terminal every time.

Anybody know how to turn this off?

This is the option:

Something on `Settings -> Features -> Testing`

(or search for “Open Testing” on the settings)
