Hello, it is working on my windows machine and I don't see obvious reason to fail in the code. But this message can happen also if the file exists but it can't load the content. I suspect a wrong project.yml file encoding. The expected file encoding is UTF-8. The encoding error message is not logged but you can try to use the extension with a clean project to see if it fixes the issue.

Usually, I use ceedling example temp_sensor to generate a project. Then I open the project.yml with vscode (make sure the file encoding is UTF-8 in the right bottom corner) and add xml_tests_report to the plugin.enabled section. I configure the ceedlingExplorer.shellPath option if ceedling is not accessible in my default shell and reload the tests.
