Microsoft Testing Platform for xUnit #402

How has user feedback been on the extremely abbreviated output from

Does enabling the new system preclude usage in older clients, like older VS Code/Visual Studio versions? Or does enabling the new system provide a "best of both worlds" by allowing the system using the older APIs to still function? |
Out of curiosity: Does this issue and the corresponding PR (#403) represent a fix for xunit/xunit#2337? Or is xunit/xunit#2337 about something else? |
That issue is technically something else, though I did chat with the VSTest team about whether the protocol they're using here might be something I could re-use, so it would end up perhaps allowing me to reuse some of their code for my v3 cross-process protocol. It's definitely something I'm going to be investigating. 😄 |
Actually, this doesn't appear to be an option. The |
Not liked by everyone microsoft/testfx#2162. We are working on some "interactive" mode where more things would be printed. This default is more performant and is aligned with how we usually define things internally (for example this is matching the default output of arcade infra). We believe this is a good default for CI and we want to keep it but we understand that this is not what everyone wants and we are working on improving this. We are also working on an improved terminal experience for terminals that supports better outputing.
Thanks to the bridge, the old versions of Test Explorer (VS and VS Code) would communicate using VSTest and the new versions have some setting (default is using the runner directly through the new json protocol) to switch between modes.
We will be updating the
Correct, at the moment this is not supported but we have some infra (internal for now) to support this in the future. We still need some design and testing to ensure it's all good and can be open. On the new platform we are making a distingo between output and logging (although we won't block if someone creates some specific logger that redirects to the output service) because they are fundamentaly different and this aggregation was causing lots of pain in VSTest platform.
This isn't true. You can install and use the trx extension (see https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/testing/unit-testing-mstest-runner-extensions#visual-studio-test-reports). |
How is this different from |
Because all commands of dotnet test are VSTest oriented. Besides VSTest was using the logger concept for everything which was leading to many issues and confusions. On the new platform we are trying to have clear concepts: logger is like any regular app, console falls under an output device concept which will allow us to have different reporting (remote call, live web pages for CI, handling of devices...) and finally extensions that are subscribing to events (this is the case for TRX report). |
this is super useful aslo for debugging tests also cross languages in the .NET ecosystem, i hope this is available soon for Xunit |
@jkone27 What is provided here that you don't already get with xUnit.net's VSTest integration? You can already debug tests in VS and VS Code. To be clear, what I see being offered here is only a potential performance advantage. |
Dear xUnit team,
As per our previous discussions, we would like to help you onboard xUnit to the new self-contained testing platform that powers MSTest Runner.
We are currently working on the technical documentation for framework authors and extensions authors so sadly for now there isn't much available for you to browse.
The new platform is already OSS and available inside of MSTest repository (at the moment).
