Overloaded test method is not recognized

[schibu007]

Describe the bug

Overloaded test methods (attributed with [TestMethod]) are not recognized by MSTest and are therefor silently ignored.

Steps To Reproduce

Consider following class:

[TestClass]
public sealed class Tests
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void Test() { }

    [TestMethod]
    [DataRow(123)]
    public void Test(int arg) { }
}

When you execute them in VS, you'll get this result:

Note, that the result of the overloaded test method Test(int arg) is missing.

Expected behavior

Either the overloaded test method should be recognized/executed, or an analyzer should prevent test method overloading.

Actual behavior

The overloaded test method is not recognized by MSTest.

[Evangelink]

Overloads are currently not supported in MSTest. I was pretty sure we had a similar request but I cannot find it back.

I'll keep this ticket open as feature request to either add support for it or add an analyzer.

@Evangelink thanks for the fast response. Based on your answer I searched again and found this issue 1235. I guess you could close this issue then as a duplicate.
