Extension fails to initialize #614
Description
Describe the bug
When I click on "Refresh Tests" in vs code (button shown in screenshot below):
Resolving vitest gets displayed for a short second and than goes back to the screen saying no tests found.
I get a vs code notification saying: "Failed to start Vitest. Check the output for more details."
The output is attached below.
I assume that the error lies within me using fnm for managing my node version which only appends the correct bin directory to my path when starting up a shell with my user profile.
Reproduction
Use fnm to install node with their recommended setup approach: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm?tab=readme-ov-file#shell-setup
DO NOT HAVE NODE IN YOUR NORMAL PATH
Try to use the extension in a js project with vitest installed
Output
[Error 2:45:32 PM] Unable to find 'node' executable.
