This extension is very heavily inspired by the vscode-jest-runner and ruby-test-runner extensions. ruby-test-runner didn't quite meet my needs to I decided to try and build my own version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Features
Run prompts next to contexts and examples in rspec allows you to run single test or group of tests within the test file
A "run spec" button in the status bar to quickly run the test file
Ctrl+Alt+/ (mac: Ctrl+Cmd+/) will also run tests for the current file
Tests are run inside a terminal in vscode
Decorates the editor with the test results
Supports Rspec (and minitest to a lesser extent)

Known Issues
I don't have access to a windows machine so I can only hope that it works there.
Minitest support can be a bit janky as the default output isn't ideal for parsing
The extension can get confused when an error occurs in a setup block
Editing a test file while tests are running may result in editor decorations appearing in the incorrect location
