How can I have different settings (such as allowing private access) for my tests folder?

I find that my development process is much simpler if I am allowed to write unit tests which can access private things. I do not want to expose these things in downstream usage, but I do want to verify at a low level that each component is working as expected.
I asked copilot about how to do this and was given the following suggestion

"executionEnvironments": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "reportPrivateUsage": true
    },
    {
      "root": "tests",
      "reportPrivateUsage": false
    }
  ]

Which does not work. The "reportPrivateUsage" setting is completely ignored. Is there some other way of achieving this?

The approach suggested by copilot should work fine as long as you're on an up-to-date version of pyright. The support for this was added just a few weeks ago and can be found in the latest published version.

This worked after upgrading. Thanks!
