Is there an extension for running `mstest` tests in Visual Studio Code

Question

I created a new .NET Core 2.1 solution to learn some new tools. In this solution I have two C# projects: a class library and mstest. I want to run the tests in my mstest project in Visual Studio Code. However, I do not see a way to do this.

I looked through the Visual Studio Code extensions, however, I didn't see an extension that targets mstest projects. Am I missing something?

If you are running .NET Core it looks like you can run unit tests by just typing dotnet tests. There is more documentation MS Docs .NET Unit Testing. But if you wanted to run MS Tests you don't need Visual Studio to do so it comes with its own console, or CLI. Its documented here and more about the command line tool here
