Describe the bug

I'm trying to load tests and benchmarks from different directories, because one is for Debug and one is for Release builds. My globbing pattern is "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/{Debug,Release}/BDAImageAnalysis/*{Test,Benchmark}*",. But that does not work, the adapter will not find any tests or benchmarks. When I remove the first set of curly braces {Debug,Release} and replace it with only Debug or Release, everything works, but it finds only either the tests or the benchmarks (depending which folder I set). Is it possible that a pattern can not have more than one set of curly braces pattern? Is there a known workaround or a way to add both folders?

To Reproduce

Set the settings.json to

{
    "testMate.cpp.debug.breakOnFailure": false,
    "testMate.cpp.test.advancedExecutables": [
        {
            "name": "${filename}",
            "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/Debug/BDAImageAnalysis/*{test,Test,TEST}*",
        }
    ]
}

You didn't attached the full log so I'm just guessing but it might be a vscode limitation. I'm using vscode.workspace.createFileSystemWatcher.

For workaround you can try this:

{
    "testMate.cpp.debug.breakOnFailure": false,
    "testMate.cpp.test.advancedExecutables": [
        {
            "name": "${filename}",
            "description": "(Debug)",
            "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/Debug/BDAImageAnalysis/*Test*",
        },
        {
            "name": "${filename}",
            "description": "(Release)",
            "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/Release/BDAImageAnalysis/*Test*",
        },
        {
            "name": "${filename}",
            "description": "(Debug)",
            "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/Debug/BDAImageAnalysis/*Benchmark*",
        },
        {
            "name": "${filename}",
            "description": "(Release)",
            "pattern": "${os_env:BDASOFTTEMP}/Release/BDAImageAnalysis/*Benchmark*",
        }
    ]
}
