Describe the bug

I have a C++ project using CMake with Ninja and catch2. I have configured advancedExecutables:

    "testMate.cpp.test.advancedExecutables": [
        {
            "pattern": "build-output/**/*{test,Test,TEST}*",
            "dependsOn": [
                "source/**/*"
            ],
            "catch2": {
                "testGrouping": {
                    "groupBySource": {
                        "label": "${sourceRelPath[2:]}",
                        "groupUngroupedTo": "Unable to determine source file",
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ],

Here's the behavior I'm seeing:

• Tests run fine in CMake outside of vscode.
• When I make changes to a source file, save it, and click the little "Refresh Tests" button in the "Testing" panel, the TestMate tests show up and are correct. They also re-run if "continuous run" is enabled.
• When I click the "run" button in the Testing panel, the tests run correctly.
• When I hit F7 to rebuild, my test executable is successfully rebuilt, and TestMate detects this change. It desaturates test results, waits for the build to complete, and once the build completes TestMate correctly refreshes and re-runs tests (with "Continuous Run" selected).
• When I make a change in a source file and save the file, no build is run. TestMate detects that the file was changed, and desaturates all test results. Then nothing happens -- no rediscovery is run and no tests are run.

I would like the test I'm editing to re-run when I save it. Is this possible? TestMate advertises it supports auto-running when a dependsOn file is changed, and that's what I'd like to happen.

From TestMate's perspective, I'd just like to automatically run a "Refresh Tests" (which also rebuilds and re-runs tests) when a dependsOn file is changed.

Workaround As a workaround, after I edit the source file, I can either hit F7 to save and rebuild and re-run tests, or I can save and click "Refresh Tests" in the testing panel, which rebuilds and re-runs tests.

Logs No TestMate logs are produced when I modify and save the test source file. I tried both testMate.cpp.log.logpanel: true and setting testMate.cpp.log.logfile.

This is C++, you have to rebuild your exec to run it. Executables are watched, don't need dependsOn for them separately. If you continuous run is enabled you just have to start a build and they will be run.
