Getting GTest to work with Visual Studio Test Explorer

Question

The Visual Studio Test Explorer is not seeing the errors reported in GTest.

Visual Studio 2017 C++ build with GTest Unit Test Project. Builds fine, debug into the test, shows error but not being picked up by Visual Studio Test Explorer, is showing test ran without an error.

TEST_METHOD(TestMethod1)
{
    ASSERT_TRUE(1, 3);
}

The test should fail and show up in Test Explorer with red check mark.

Plese have a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/how-to-use-google-test-for-cpp?view=vs-2017 to see Microsoft's description of how to install and use Google Test Adapter.

There is also Jetbrains's ReSharpter C++ available, which provides a very nice integration of GoogleTest into VS.
