lstlisting produces empty row when used inside a tabular

Question

Is there any way I can get rid of the empty new row produced by lstlisting inside a tabular?

Here's a minimum working example:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
language=python,
showspaces=false,
showtabs=false,
tabsize=4, 
frame=trbl,
frameround=tttt,
basicstyle=\ttfamily,
showstringspaces=false,
numbers=left,
breaklines=true,
}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{l | p{0.8\textwidth}}
test &
\begin{lstlisting}
somecode
\end{lstlisting}
\end{tabular}

rest of text


\end{document}

I'm using TexShop with xelatex.

Follow-up question: It also seems to break when I'm using longtable: The tables don't continue into other pages, instead it creates huge gaps and I'm suspecting it has to do with lstlisting.

Answer 1

Try adding the option

belowskip=-\baselineskip

So

\begin{tabular}{l | p{0.8\textwidth}}
test &
\begin{lstlisting}[belowskip=-\baselineskip]
somecode
\end{lstlisting}
\end{tabular}

There is also aboveskip
