Set DOTNET_CLI_WORKLOADS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_DISABLE=1 in the child process environment when running dotnet test, so that the .NET SDK no longer emits 'Workload updates are available' messages into the test output. These messages were appearing in the test discovery and test run output from the F# Test Adapter because they are emitted by the dotnet CLI before actual test output is produced. Suppressing them keeps the output clean and avoids confusing the test-name parsing logic. Closes #2020 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Closes #2020
Root Cause
When running
dotnet test, the .NET CLI emits "Workload updates are available" messages before the actual test output. These messages appear in the F# Test Adapter's output because they are written to stdout by the SDK runtime prior to any test-related output being produced.Fix
Set
DOTNET_CLI_WORKLOADS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_DISABLE=1in the child process environment inside thegetEnvhelper inTestExplorer.fs. This environment variable is supported by the .NET SDK to suppress workload update notifications. The fix applies to bothdotnet testruns anddotnet test --list-tests(test discovery), since both go through the samedotnetTest/getEnvpath.Trade-offs
dotnet testinvocations.DOTNET_CLI_WORKLOADS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_DISABLE) is a supported SDK feature, confirmed via the .NET SDK source.Test Status
