.NET Core Test Explorer

Features

• Test Explorer for .NET Core

Prerequisites

• .NET Core is installed

Usage

Open a .NET Core test project, or set dotnet-test-explorer.testProjectPath to the folder path of .NET Core test project. Then, you will see all the tests in Test Explorer.

After you run tests from Test Explorer, you could see test results in CodeLens for C# test projects (This feature depends on C# extension)

If you are using XUnit the test result of the last run tests are also shown in the tree

Right click on a test node to navigate to the test code

There is also an option to execute test in context of the current cursor. This is available from the right click menu or (probably more usefull) as a keyboard short cut (default alt-r alt-u).

Settings

• dotnet-test-explorer.testProjectPath: Folder path of .NET Core test project. You could set the full path or the relative path to the workspace root path. (Default is "")
• dotnet-test-explorer.useTreeView: If false, will list all tests as the full namespace. When set to true a tree will be created based on the namespaces of the tests. (Only xUnit tests will be listed in a tree view) (Default is true)
• dotnet-test-explorer.build: If true, projects will be built when refreshing the test explorer. (Default is true)
• dotnet-test-explorer.restore: If true, dotnet restore will run when refreshing the test explorer. (Default is true)
• dotnet-test-explorer.showCodeLens: Determines whether to show the CodeLens test status or not. (Default is true)
• dotnet-test-explorer.codeLensFailed: The text to display in the code lens when a test has failed. (Default is "")
• dotnet-test-explorer.codeLensPassed: The text to display in the code lens when a test has passed. (Default is "")
• dotnet-test-explorer.codeLensSkipped: The text to display in the code lens when a test has been skipped. (Default is "")
• dotnet-test-explorer.pathForResultFile: The path to (temporarily) store test result files in. (Default is os temp dir)

Known issues

Test result is not shown in codelens / tree

Try and change the setting dotnet-test-explorer.pathForResultFile to point to a folder you have access right too.

No tree view or color coded explorer for nunit / mstest

This is because of the way test discovery is implemented for nunit / mstest. Work is in progress to better support these test frameworks.

DisplayName attribute not working for xunit

Same problem as above.

Telemetry data

By default, anonymous telemetry data collection is turned on to understand user behavior to improve this extension. To disable it, update the settings.json as below:

{
    "dotnet-test-explorer.enableTelemetry": false
}
