I just ran into this issue, but after taking a peek at the docs, we found this:

And after running with npx vitest --api.host=0.0.0.0 --ui, it worked

might be beneficial to add to the FAQ?

I don't see how this is related to the vscode extension?

Its a workaround

This is currently preventing my team from switching to VS Code. Please fix 🥺

test explorer live share was last updated 7 years ago, it doesn't support the new testing API that vscode provides, it's designed to be used with Test Explorer UI extension which is now deprecated according to its description.

I'll try to investigate how to support it natively with a regular Live Share extension.
