How to invoke MsTestV2 unit test programmatically

saiparth opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

I am using specflow with MsTestV2.
Due to unavoidable reasons, I would like to trigger this unit test programmatically. Where i can find details for this?

What do you mean? Can you explain it a bit more, and maybe provide us an example?

If you like preserve the entire test platform you can execute the test via https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/blob/master/src/Microsoft.TestPlatform.VsTestConsole.TranslationLayer/VsTestConsoleWrapper.cs class. A sample usage is in our integration tests. (https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/blob/master/test/Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestUtilities/IntegrationTestBase.cs)

I have kept all test name in a xml, will read that as a list and invoke one by one. So I dint use console runner.

Can this be used?Is there any other example? Since its using mock I am not able to write test properly.

VsTestConsoleWrapper has a method to run tests one by one as well.

No it cannot, it's mocking the actual process, tests might not be run properly. Please check our E2E tests; this example might be useful, be we recommend to use VsTestConsoleWrapper.
