[BUG] Unable to run individual test when multiple paths configured #348
Description
Describe the bug
When having multiple paths configured in the robot.toml file, when trying to execute a single test in the Testing section, an [ERROR] appears that the Suite contains no tests.
Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Configure multple paths in the robot.toml (paths = ["tests", "under_development"]
- Have at least 1 test in both folders/suites
- In the Testing section of VSCode try to execute a single test
In my example I have 2 folders: "tests" & "sandbox"
Both folders contain a test.
When trying to execute a single test in "tests", I get [ERROR] Suite 'Sandbox' contains no tests or tasks.
(and vice versa, when starting a single test in "sandbox": [ERROR] Suite 'Tests' contains no tests or tasks)
When executing all tests, there is no error.
Expected behavior
When executing a specific test or suite, ignore suites that are not selected.

Yes, this is an open problem in the Robot Framework robotframework/robotframework#4289 that we have probably forgotten.
The problem is that the suite names in Robot Framework are not passed on correctly if you specify several paths, but a test case is only found in one of the paths. Perhaps this will now bring the issue back into focus ;-)
The workaround is to set a new name for the suite in your suite and say that robot should also execute empty suites. Put something like this to your

@yuriverweij does this work for you?

That works for me. Thanks!
