Add path of function in pytest format to the clipboard from breadcrumb

[kingbuzzman]

• We currently have Copy Relative Path as a menu option when you right click on a file.
• And we have breadcrumbs

i would love it if i could copy a function from within the breadcrumb and have it be in the pytest format: path/to/module.py::Class::function

It would be a nice, nice-to-have.

@connor4312 can we contribute custom context menu commands to test items? programmatically from the controller I only see option to add Run, Debug, and Coverage profiles. I don't see a way to set a custom context menu command for a test item.

Yes, the testing/item/context contribution point https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.menus

@karthiknadig What happens if it's already over 7 up votes? Do we need to wait 60 days nonetheless?

[brettcannon]

@kingbuzzman chances are we are not going to start working on this in the next 60 days, so it doesn't make a huge difference. But I can go ahead and mark this as accepted for consideration.

Thank you to everyone who upvoted this issue! Since the community showed interest in this feature request we will leave this issue open as something to consider implementing at some point in the future.

We do encourage people to continue 👍 the first/opening comment as it helps us prioritize our work based on what the community seems to want the most.

I think the context menu when right-clicking a test in the context menu or the gutter icon in the test file would be a good place to put this copy button
