async function go() {
	try {
		const extensionDevelopmentPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../')
		const extensionTestsPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './suite')

		/**
		 * Basic usage
		 */
		await runTests({
			extensionDevelopmentPath,
			extensionTestsPath
		})

		const extensionTestsPath2 = path.resolve(__dirname, './suite2')
		const testWorkspace = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../test-fixtures/fixture1')

		/**
		 * Running another test suite on a specific workspace
		 */
		await runTests({
			extensionDevelopmentPath,
			extensionTestsPath: extensionTestsPath2,
			launchArgs: [testWorkspace]
		})

		/**
		 * Use 1.36.1 release for testing
		 */

		/**
		 * Use Insiders release for testing
