Thanks to some back and forth with the rust-analyzer team rust-lang/rust-analyzer#21137 we can now use nextest as the test backend for the Run Test and Run Tests buttons in VS Code. You'll need the pre-release version of rust-analyzer, but I think we all use that.

Runnables aren't yet supported in Zed IIUC, so I didn't change any setting there.

See rust-lang/rust-analyzer#21137 (comment) for some examples of how I use this.

In particular, it is fantastic for Run Tests on a group of tests that access R and must run in separate processes via nextest. Previously, it you hit that shiny Run Tests button then you'd footgun yourself and hang one of the R sessions.

Fixed this in zed-industries/zed#54011.
