Test icon is missing in the sidebar

My setup

Version: 1.61.2
Commit: 6cba118ac49a1b88332f312a8f67186f7f3c1643
Date: 2021-10-19T15:03:09.437Z
Electron: 13.5.1
Chrome: 91.0.4472.164
Node.js: 14.16.0
V8: 9.1.269.39-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 21.1.0

Case 1.
When "testExplorer.useNativeTesting": true; the Test UI tab is not available at all with only Test Adapter Converter and Test Explorer UI extensions installed

Case 2.
However, when I additionally installed Jest Test Explorer it shows the Test UI tab but can't find any tests and asks to install test extension.

Case 3.
When "testExplorer.useNativeTesting": false; and all three extensions installed everything works except for native Test UI.

Please clarify what's wrong with my setup. Thanks in advance.

Please share an example repo where this happens

Double checked in my other public repo - the same result.
Here is the example repo

This works for me:

Disabled all extensions except tests related - doesn't help.
Can it be node version-related? I have 16.10.0
Do you only have testExplorer.useNativeTesting: true for testExplorer config?
Can you please share your vscode config file?

I think this happens because some Test Adapters are only activated when the test view is selected, but when you use native testing, the test view only becomes visible when some tests have been registered, creating a chicken-and-egg problem.

In this case the test extension in the original comment's screenshot (#23 (comment)) activates on *, so that should not be an issue here. There's also the "history" icon on the extension which indicates its activation time.

@connor4312 can you please give me a hint in which direction to debug that issue if it intended to work due to my screenshot?

[connor4312]

Not really sure what's going on here. But you could also try vscode-jest which is the significantly more widely-supported and adopted extension for Jest.
