Cloning the repo and running the test suite fails to download vscode

[kevinramharak]

I checked out the repo locally and used npm ci to install the packages from the package-lock.json.
I ran npm run test in the command line, it fails with the following output:

$ npm run test

> [email protected] pretest
> npm run compile-tests && npm run compile && npm run lint


> [email protected] compile-tests
> tsc -p . --outDir out


> [email protected] compile
> node scripts/build


> [email protected] lint
> eslint src --ext ts & tsc --noEmit


> [email protected] test
> node ./out/test/runTest.js

I tried this both on node 20 and 18. Looking at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-test/issues they suggest updating to the latest version.

I checked the package-lock.json and noticed it is locked at 2.3.3. When I updated the package to 2.3.9 the test suite runs and succeeds as expected.

I will add an PR with the fix.
