Describe the bug
When launching a test with Flutter integration_test on a device or emulator, there is no feedback besides a spinner on "Dart" in the "Test Results" sidebar indicating that a build is occurring. Sometimes this spinner doesn't appear either

This is especially problematic when trying to run tests on multiple targets at the same time

To Reproduce

  • Create a test with IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  • Click Debug button in file or Debug Tests in explorer view

Expected behavior
There should be a popup notification and some lines in debug console indicating a build is occurring, like when you perform a regular app run

Screenshots
Only after the build is complete is a debug console tab created and the "Running Gradle task..." message appears
