expect.getState().testPath only works when called inside of test function

[yannbf]

Describe the bug

Based on this reproduction: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitest-dev-vitest-w9khjv?file=test%2Fbasic.test.ts,test%2Fsuite.test.ts,vitest.config.ts&initialPath=__vitest__/

The following code:

import { assert, expect, test } from 'vitest';

console.log({ testPathOutside: expect.getState().testPath });
test('Math.sqrt()', () => {
  console.log({ testPathInside: expect.getState().testPath });
  // ...
});

yields:

stdout | test/basic.test.ts
{
  "testPathOutside": undefined,
}
stdout | test/basic.test.ts > Math.sqrt()
{
  "testPathInside": "/home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/basic.test.ts",
}

I'd expect that expect.getState().testPath would always work when invoked in the file, regardless of its position. Seems like it also yields undefined when called inside of describe calls.

Additionally, it seems like expect.getState().testPath is not undefined when running tests with isolate: false, however the value is inconsistent and most of the times incorrect.

Repro:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy?file=test%2Fbasic.test.ts,vitest.config.ts,test%2Fextratests%2Ffoo.test.ts,test%2Fextratests%2Fbar.test.ts,test%2Fextratests%2Fbaz.test.ts,test%2Fsuite.test.ts&initialPath=__vitest__/

How to repro:

• Run tests in watch mode (pnpm run test:ui)
• look at the logs succeeding. testPath is the value of expect.getState().testPath, vitestWorkerFilePath is the value of globalThis.__vitest_worker__.filepath and fileUrl is import.meta.url. _isRunningFromThisFile checks whether the paths match.

stdout | test/extratests/baz.test.ts
{
  testPath: undefined,
  vitestWorkerFilePath: '/home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/extratests/baz.test.ts',
  fileUrl: 'file:///home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/extratests/baz.test.ts',
  _isRunningFromThisFile: true
}

• keep pressing R to rerun the tests until the tests fail, then look at the logs:

stdout | test/extratests/baz.test.ts
{
  testPath: '/home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/extratests/foo.test.ts',
  vitestWorkerFilePath: '/home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/extratests/baz.test.ts',
  fileUrl: 'file:///home/projects/vitest-dev-vitest-qq8ndy/test/extratests/baz.test.ts',
  _isRunningFromThisFile: false
}

Notice that the testPath (expect.getState().testPath) value here is test/extratests/foo.test.ts' while the actual file is test/extratests/baz.test.ts'

This is inconsistent, the values can change. Seems like it could be related to the order of which tests are running.
