You are here because you are looking for syntax and details to pass runsettings configurations to either vstest.console.exe
or dotnet test
through commandline.
RunSettings arguments
are used to add/update specific runsettings configurations
. The updated runsettings configurations
will be available to TestPlatform
and test extensions
(E.g. test adapter, etc.) through runsettings.
RunSettings arguments
are specified as name-value pair of the form[name]=[value]
after--
. Note the space after --.- Use a space to separate multiple
[name]=[value]
. - All the arguments after
--
will be treated asRunSettings arguments
, meansRunSettings arguments
should be at the end of the command line.
Passing argument -- MSTest.MapInconclusiveToFailed=True
in (1) below is equivalent to passing argument
--settings additionalargs.runsettings
in (2) below.
1) dotnet test -- MSTest.MapInconclusiveToFailed=True MSTest.DeploymentEnabled=False
2) dotnet test --settings additionalargs.runsettings
where additionalargs.runsettings
is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
<!-- MSTest adapter -->
<MSTest>
<MapInconclusiveToFailed>True</MapInconclusiveToFailed>
<DeploymentEnabled>False</DeploymentEnabled>
</MSTest>
</RunSettings>
The syntax in (1) is another way of passing runsettings configuration and you need not author a runsetting file while using Runsettings arguments
. More details about runsettings can be found here.
Runsettings arguments
takes precedence over runsettings
.
For example, in below command the final value for MapInconclusiveToFailed
will be False
and value for DeploymentEnabled
will be unchanged, that is False
.
dotnet test --settings additionalargs.runsettings -- MSTest.MapInconclusiveToFailed=False
