The other interesting protocol in this space I only recently became familiar with is the Debug Adapter Protocol or DAP [0]. Curiously it doesnt't seem like there's a standard for test running though? Unless that's supposed to be an LSP action of some sort.

The code lens API allows you to register commands with code spans of your choice. There's no specific built-in command for running tests, so it's ad-hoc.

Eg for the Rust LSP server: https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/blob/ea7a0c36aa5f45846b06f8... + https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/blob/ea7a0c36aa5f45846b06f8...

That's great news to me. I was hoping they do the same for debugging.
