📝 Description
We are observing intermittent test failures during the first run of the unit tests, specifically within the AttachProcessProvider suite.
The root cause appears to be a Race Condition triggered by slow environment startup:
- First Test Timeout: The first test case (e.g., Linux process list) takes longer than 2000ms to resolve (likely due to initial module loading or environment lag), causing a Mocha timeout error.
- Polluted Assertions: While the second test is running, the asynchronous call from the first (timed-out) test finally completes.
- Double Call Error: This causes the
sinon stub (like plainExec) to record an extra call during the second test's execution context, leading to an assertion failure: expected plainExec to be called once but it was called twice (or similar).

The Linux process list command should be called if the platform is Linux:
Error: Timeout of 2000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise, ensure it resolves. (/home/runner/work/vscode-python-debugger/vscode-python-debugger/testDir/out/test/unittest/attachQuickPick/provider.unit.test.js)

2) Attach to process - process provider
The macOS process list command should be called if the platform is macOS:
AssertError: expected plainExec to be called once and with exact arguments
🛠 Steps to Reproduce
- Run tests in a resource-constrained environment (like a cold GitHub Actions runner or a slow local machine).
- Execute npm run test (or the equivalent test runner command).
- Observe that the first test fails with a timeout, and subsequent tests fail because stubs were called by the "ghost" of the previous failed test.
- Run the tests again immediately; observe that all tests (including the previously failed ones) now pass.
