I have a library where I defined Traits for filtering Unit tests in pipeline when running tests. To do that, I needed to reference xunit. This automaticly detects the project as a test project, even that there are no test and there is no testing nuget package "Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk". And also I'm filtering the project when running dotnet test --filter Category=UnitTest and in pipeline I'm filtering by project name **/*.Tests.dll.
But dotnet test still treats the projects as a test project and fails because its not finding a "testhost.dll" assembly that I assume comes with the nuget package. Is this a bug? Can I configure the project to be detected as Library?
I tried setting Library or setting project Guids like it was done in the past.
I guess I can just add the nuget package and it will find no test, but I wonder why its detecting that project that neither matches the name nor has any tests.
Here the pipeline task:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: "Run Unit Tests"
inputs:
command: 'test'
projects: '${{parameters.workDir}}/**/bin/**/*.Tests.csproj'
arguments: '
-c ${{parameters.buildConfiguration}}
--no-restore
--no-build
--filter Category=UnitTest
-v detailed'
and the exact error message is "Unable to find [PathToWorkDir][subfolder\MyApp.HealthCheck.Tests\bin\Debug\net5.0\testhost.dll. Please publish your test project and retry."
Any ideas?
