[MTP] Live Streaming Logs for IDEs

[thomhurst]

Summary

Expose functionality to allow test frameworks to stream live output from tests to IDEs

Background and Motivation

Currently if I am running a long running test, I have no idea what it's doing. I may have Console.WriteLine statements frequently throughout it, but I will never see them until the test completes. This means it's hard to know what my test is actually doing if using an IDE.

Proposed Feature

Expose a way to stream logs to IDEs. Perhaps something like a TestNodeOutputMessage or something that we can push to the message bus?

Alternative Designs

🤷‍♂️

I'll close as won't fix, until a change is done on IDEs I would like to avoid adding unused features.

@Evangelink So what change is actually needed in these IDEs? Do they know about this change? Has this been documented anywhere?

There is basically no work done on Test Explorer for a couple of years now and every ticket just sit in their backlog. Feel free to open another request using VS feedback.
