Glad to see that you are starting to look into this.

Please let me know what sort of feedback would be helpful while getting started here and how you'd like to work on this feature. I suggest that we either create a test-adapter branch on the NTVS repo and merge your incremental work into that through PRs, or that you create a branch on your fork and submit PRs against that with a big rollup PR against NTVS once the feature is complete. Whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Really looking forward to seeing this implemented. As always, please let me know if you are blocked or have any questions.

Oh okay, I'll submit PRs against the branch on my fork.
I'm going to really be digging into this starting this weekend/next week-- and I will definitely have questions for you. 😄

Thanks as always for being so helpful!

Closing this PR then.

Hi,
Just in need of some quick clarification-- I've created a branch on my fork. For submitting a PR against that branch, does it matter which branch on my fork I merge from?

Meaning if I have myfork/test-adapter could I work on myfork/master and submit a PR from myfork/master into myfork/test-adapter branch?
I might be overthinking this.

I have the first set of changes and I'd just like to get them to you guys for review ASAP so I can make sure I'm on the right path.

Thanks again
