I am using Xunit.net with Visual Studio Online hosted build. My tests are being discovered and run fine both locally and on the build server. But on the build server I get this exception (causing the build to reach a "Partially Succeeded" state). This is odd, since all my tests are in fact being discovered and run.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I have the following nuget packages installed in the test project:
Other unit testing frameworks, such as MS Test and NUnit, are working without problems. This makes me think the issue is with Xunit.net rather than with Visual Studio Online.
I have also opened an issue at the xUnit.net GitHub, but it remains unsolved. https://github.com/xunit/xunit/issues/47
How can I get this working? Does anyone know of a workaround? Could I somehow suppress the error message?
I've been using xUnit for quite some time now, and it's my Unit testing framework of choice. It's an open source unit testing tool for . Net framework that's compatible with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.Net, and Xamarin. You can take advantage of xUnit.Net to assert an exception type easily.
The xUnit.net test runner that we've been using supports . NET Core 1.0 or later, . NET 5.0 or later, and . NET Framework 4.5.
When using the default testing framework in . NET your tests will be decorated with a testmethod attribute and you can just place the ignore attribute above them. When you have the ignore attribute above a testmethod the test will be skipped. Now when you run your tests you will see that this test has been skipped.
To write a test you simply create a public method that returns nothing and then decorate it with the Fact attribute. Inside that method you can put whatever code you want but, typically, you'll create some object, do something with it and then check to see if you got the right result using a method on the Assert class.
The testrunner tries to discover the unit tests in xunit.runner.visualstudio.testadapter.dll
. Why? Because it matches the default test sources spec of *.test*.dll
.
When changing the default test source spec to *.tests.dll
or something else more specific, it will work.
