Run Nunit Test in Git Actions for .Net Framework

Question

I'm using NUnit.Framework to test my .NET Framework project. I want to run my tests via GitHub Actions. Yml file:

build:
runs-on: windows-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup .NET
  uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
  with:
    dotnet-version: '3.0.x'
- name: Setup MSBuild Path
  uses: microsoft/setup-msbuild@v1
- name: Build
  run:  msbuild.exe .\CalcStatistics\CalcStats\CalcStats.sln
- name: Setup VSTest and add to PATH
  uses: darenm/Setup-VSTest@v1
- name: Run VSTest
  id: run_vstest
  run: vstest.console.exe .\CalcStatistics\CalcStats\CalcStatsTests\bin\Debug\CalcStatsTests.dll /Platform:x64

In response I get : No tests is available. I'm tried to run tests via MsBuild with the following command :

run:& "$(vswhere -property installationPath)\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /testcontainer:.\CalcStatistics\CalcStats\CalcStatsTests\bin\Debug\CalcStatsTests.dll

I'm receive the same notification that no tests is available.

Install NuGet Package NUnit.ConsoleRunner
Remove your step "Setup VSTest and add to PATH" (unnecessary)
change your step "Run VSTest" like so

run: packages\NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.12.0 ools unit3-console.exe TestProject\bin\Debug\TestProject.dll

i solved this by installing the NUnit.ConsoleRunner via nuget install:

  - name: Install NUnit.ConsoleRunner
     run: nuget install NUnit.ConsoleRunner -Version 3.13.0 -DirectDownload -OutputDirectory .
        
  - name: Run UnitTests
