[🚫 Bug] Locators with class "inputarea" do not work in 1.97 preview

[daniel-a126]

Describe the bug

This is more of an FYI since I don't see that issue reported anywhere.

In 1.97 nightlies the textarea doesn't have the class inputarea and cannot be located e.g. by EditorView.setTextAtLine.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download VS Code nightly for 1.97
1. Run any test having **EditorView.setTextAtLine** in it

Logs

NoSuchElementError: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".inputarea"}
     [java]   (Session info: chrome=128.0.6613.186)

macOS 15.2

Visual Studio Code

1.97.0

vscode-extension-tester

8.10.0

NodeJS

18.20.4

npm

I think the problem is more wide-spread; More stuff involving textareas doesn't work. Another example is OutputView.getText.

I have been experiencing similar issues with locating .inputarea for the ExtensionView with 1.97 insiders.

@djelinek Hi Dominik, sorry, I'm a bit new to this whole process... Does the NEXT milestone's due date of 31 January mean that we will have a new release of vscode-extension-tester before 1.97 is released?
