No module named pytest

Testing #21495

I created a venv with Python 3.8.13 and followed the instructions.

I receive the following error

2023-06-27 08:01:53.504 [error] pytest test discovery error

If this is a required thing to have should we better prompt the user to install it?

yeah, this is required for my testing repo. The prompt is a good idea Ill check if we have a feature request for this already.

closing as our understanding of our users is that most who want to use the test explorer already have pytest installed so the use case is too small. Thanks!
