Describe the bug

When running tests from vscode the output opens up as a new terminal window like so:

I expected it to open in the output tab under "Go Test":

I don't know if this is the intended behavior. if it is, then obviously go ahead and close the issue

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run tests in VS code with the test UI

Hi @jadeidev Thanks for reporting the issue.
The test explorer utilizes newer TestAPI that utilizes the terminal window. The Go Tests output channel predates TestAPI and still gets used by the old ways of running tests (e.g. test code lens, ..). We hope to clean up and remove the old ways (the Go Tests output channel) as part of the effort such as #1702 and #2044.

Closing in favor of existing issues.
