v3.9.0

In this release we focused a lot on providing fixes for MSTest and Microsoft.Testing.Platform. The most notable new features and fixes are:

MSTest

• Allow async test methods for UITestMethod on UWP and WinUI by @​Youssef1313 in #​5297
• Add analyzer for duplicate data row by @​Youssef1313 in #​5144
• Fix ClassCleanup not called when the first test in class is ignored by @​Youssef1313 in #​5070
• Fix writing warnings outside of appdomain by @​nohwnd in #​5371

Microsoft.Testing.Platform

• Add (alpha) Azure DevOps extension to report errors by @​nohwnd in #​5260
• Kill testhost if writing hang dump fails by @​Youssef1313 in #​5538

We've also improved the dotnet test experience in dotnet SDK, especially around Retry plugin experience, and started dogfooding the experience in our own repository. Please check out how to enable the new dotnet test experience for Microsoft.Testing.Platform in net10 by following this link, and help us dogfood it.

Announcements

• This release adds new Assert APIs related to throwing exceptions, collections, and strings. Refer to the changelog for more information.
• This release adds support for generic test methods.
• This release adds few new analyzers.
• We added MSTestAnalysisMode. We encourage you to set this property to at least Recommended.
• This release adds RetryAttribute
• Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.TrxReport and Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage are now a dependency of MSTest metapackage

v3.7.0

Announcements

MSTest.Analyzers is now a transitive dependency of MSTest.TestFramework and thus no longer needs to be manually installed.

Note: The only rules enabled by default as warnings, which could potentially cause build errors when updating MSTest, have been carefully selected and thoroughly validated. These rules specifically address real runtime issues related to the usage of MSTest, ensuring that no purely stylistic or low-impact analyzers are enforced by default.

Here are the highlights of the current release, full change log is available below:

MSTest

New and improved analyzers

We've added more code analyzers to help you prevent mistakes, and to ensure a consistent code style of your tests.

One example of a new analyzer that was added in 3.4.0 is MSTEST0024: Do not store TestContext in static members. This analyzer has info severity by default, and will show a message, when you store TestContext in a static member in your class. This is not recommended, and you should be using a TestContext property instead:

The other analyzers added in this release:

• MSTEST0017: Assertion arguments should be passed in the correct order by @​Evangelink in #​2256
• MSTEST0019: Prefer TestInitialize over ctor by @​Evangelink in #​2580
• MSTEST0020: Prefer ctors over TestInitialize methods by @​Evangelink in #​2582
• MSTEST0021: Prefer Dispose over TestCleanup methods by @​Evangelink in #​2585
• MSTEST0022: Prefer 'TestCleanup' methods over Dispose by @​Evangelink in #​2586
• MSTEST0023: Do not negate boolean assertions by @​Evangelink in #​2594
• MSTEST0024: Do not store TestContext in static members by @​Evangelink in #​2597
• Add PreferAssertFailOverAlwaysFalseConditionsAnalyzer by @​Youssef1313 in #​2799

If you've just learned about MSTest analyzers, please also check out the analyzers that were added in previous releases. They will help you ensure that your test classes and test methods are recognized by MSTest and are not accidentally ignored.

The analyzers are automatically installed with the MSTest NuGet meta-package. But can also be installed separately using the MSTest.Analyzers NuGet package.

More timeout options

Timeout can now be specified on all fixture methods, including ClassCleanup, AssemblyCleanup, TestCleanup and TestInitalize. In this case I want my [ClassCleanup] to time out after 1 second:

Alternatively timeouts can be specified through runsettings. For example like this:

<RunSettings>
  <MSTest>
    <ClassCleanupTimeout>1000</ClassCleanupTimeout>
  </MSTest>
</RunSettings>

Better errors on data mismatch

When you provide data that don't match your test method signature, the test will fail with an informative message, rather than just "Parameter count mismatch.".

(There is also an analyzer that helps with the same while you are writing the code.)

MSTest SDK updates

We've introduced MSTest project SDK in this .NET Blog post.

Choosing version in global.json

In this release we are promoting a way to define the MSTest.Sdk version in global.json. This makes it easier to specify the version in a single place, instead of in every project.

{
    "msbuild-sdks": {
        "MSTest.Sdk": "3.4.0"
    }
}

<Project Sdk="MSTest.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Playwright support

We've added a property to enable Playwright, to simplify creating web tests:

<Project Sdk="MSTest.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>

    <EnablePlaywright>true</EnablePlaywright>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Aspire testing support

Similarly we've added a property to enable Aspire testing:

<Project Sdk="MSTest.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>

    <EnabledAspireTesting>true</EnabledAspireTesting>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Central package management

NuGet central package management can now be used together with MSTest.Sdk.

MSTest runner

Simpler banner

We've took inspiration from MSBuild and simplified the runner banner, to show the information, on a single line:

.NET Testing Platform v1.2.0+3abae95b6 (UTC 2024/05/03) [win-x64 - .NET 8.0.4]

STA support and WinUI support

The runner can be configured to run in STA (Single Thread Apartment) mode, which is required for running UI tests. And it also supports WinUI workloads.

See MSTestRunnerWinUI example

And much more, see the complete change log here: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/blob/main/docs/Changelog.md#3.4.0
