Migrate testing to native Microsoft.Testing.Platform and update test packages by ptr727 · Pull Request #553 · ptr727/NxWitness

ptr727 · 2026-08-30T21:22:48Z

Unblocks the Dependabot nuget PRs (#545, #546) and every later nuget bump.

Replaces #549, which GitHub closed automatically when its base branch
resync/eol-lf was deleted on #547's merge. Same branch, same content, same
review history on the closed PR. This one targets develop directly.

The branch carries a -s ours merge of develop recorded after #547 squashed.
That is lossless here and was verified before recording: git diff origin/develop 2efaeb2 is empty, so the squash reproduced this branch's own ancestor exactly,
and that ancestor is reachable from this branch, so develop carries nothing the
branch lacks. The diff against develop is the five files below and nothing
else.

Reworked after ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1111 merged. The first revision used
coverlet.MTP, which was the open recommendation at the time. The hub has since
settled WORKFLOW.md D1.6 on Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage, and this
PR now follows that instead.

The problem

xunit.v3 4.0.0 removed the VSTest bridge, so the CI unit-test step's
dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" now fails outright on the .NET 10
SDK:

error : Testing with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform
on .NET 10 SDK and later. If you use dotnet test, you should opt-in to the new
dotnet test experience.

That is what #545 and #546 have been red on, and it blocks every later bump until
the runner moves.

The fix, per WORKFLOW.md D1.6

Change	Why
`global.json` with `{"test":{"runner":"Microsoft.Testing.Platform"}}`	opts into the native MTP runner. No `sdk` section, so SDK resolution and roll-forward are untouched.
drop `xunit.runner.visualstudio`	the VSTest adapter MTP replaces
`coverlet.collector` -> `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` 18.9.0	coverlet's VSTest data collector is ignored under MTP without failing
CI step -> `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage`, then prefix each report to `coverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml`	matches the hub's `validate-task.yml` byte for byte

Three details are load-bearing, and none of them reds the job on its own:

The 18.9.0 floor. Below 18.1.0 the extension is built against
Microsoft.Testing.Platform 1.x and throws TypeLoadException against the 2.x
platform xunit.v3 4.0.0 carries. It then runs zero tests and still writes a
well-formed Cobertura file reporting full coverage.
--coverage-output stays unset. Pinning one filename would give every test
project in a solution the same path, and the last to finish would overwrite the
rest.
The prefix rename. The default <guid>.cobertura.xml that the unset flag
produces is a name codecov-cli's finder does not match (its patterns are
*coverage*.* and an exact cobertura.xml), so an unprefixed report uploads
nothing while the step still exits green.

Package bumps the runner change unblocks: AwesomeAssertions 9.5.0 -> 9.6.0,
xunit.analyzers 1.27.0 -> 2.0.0, xunit.v3 3.2.2 -> 4.0.0.
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk stays at 18.9.0 (already current).

.gitignore gains the hub's dotnet coverage block verbatim. The output was
untracked and unignored, so a blanket git add -A after a local coverage run
would have staged it.

Verification

Against the real invocation, not the documented one:

21 tests ran and passed, which is the check that matters given the
zero-test failure mode above.
Resolved graph (from obj/project.assets.json, not the csproj text):
Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage/18.9.0,
Microsoft.Testing.Platform/2.3.3, xunit.v3/4.0.0 with the mtp-v2 variants.
No coverlet, no xunit.runner.visualstudio.
The run wrote bbfde807-....cobertura.xml and the prefix step renamed it to
coverage-bbfde807-....cobertura.xml, confirming the rename is genuinely
needed rather than defensive.
git check-ignore covers both filename shapes;
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 git check-ignore -v is empty.
validate-task.yml is the only dotnet test caller; publish-release.yml and
test-pull-request.yml both reach it via uses:, so the publish gate and the
PR gate move together. No --collect survives anywhere.
Build, CSharpier, dotnet format style --verify-no-changes,
editorconfig-checker, actionlint, markdownlint and cspell all clean.

One thing worth knowing: the reported coverage number moves, because the
engine does. Line rate goes from 0.59 under coverlet to 0.26 here, with
lines-valid 1350 -> 3143, since this engine instruments more of the graph. It
cannot gate anything: codecov.yml sets informational: true on both project
and patch, and the only ruleset-required check is
Check pull request workflow status job.

Notes

Dependabot dual-targets develop and main, so Bump AwesomeAssertions and 3 others #546 (the main copy) stays
blocked until this reaches main via the promotion PR. main's tree is not
broken in the meantime, it just cannot take the bump.
The fleet audit flags this repo's local validate-task.yml as hub-only.
Now that Promote develop to main ProjectTemplate#1111 has landed MTP support in the hub's
reusable workflow, that migration is unblocked, but it is a separate interface
change covering five workflow files and belongs in its own PR rather than here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Improvements
- Improved automated test execution and code coverage reporting in continuous integration.
- Coverage reports are now generated in a standardized format for more reliable analysis.
Documentation
- Added guidance for running tests locally and understanding coverage validation.
Chores
- Updated testing tools and configuration to use the modern test platform.
- Added rules to keep generated test and coverage files out of source control.

Carry the hub's line-ending governance: `.gitattributes` becomes `* text=auto eol=lf` with the `*.bat`/`*.cmd` CRLF exception, and `.editorconfig` declares `end_of_line = lf` on `[*]` with the same single CRLF exception, replacing the per-type CRLF pins the old model needed. The repo-specific LF pins for `*.sh`, `.husky/pre-commit`, `Docker/s6-overlay/**` and the Dockerfiles are dropped because the global LF default now covers them. Renormalize the 85 tracked CRLF files to LF in the same pass. The generator has to move with the tree, or the codegen App would rewrite its own outputs back to CRLF on its next scheduled run and fight `.gitattributes` indefinitely. The four `JsonSourceGenerationOptions` newline pins become `\n`, and `AppendLineCrlf` becomes `AppendLineLf`. `ComposeFile.Create` now normalizes at the write, the way `Dockerfile.Create` already did, so the output ending no longer depends on how the C# source itself is stored. Verified: `Make/Matrix.json`, `Make/Version.json` and the three `Make/Test*.yml` compose files regenerate byte-identical to the LF-normalized tree, 21/21 tests pass, and CSharpier, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes`, editorconfig-checker, markdownlint and cspell are all clean.

…nd modifier `ComposeFile.Create` appended a section separator after the last service, so every generated compose file ended with two blank lines and yamllint reported `too many blank lines`. It now trims to a single trailing newline, matching what `Dockerfile.Create` already did. Pre-existing, but this is the commit that rewrites that writer. `HISTORY.md` line 10 used `version-forward-release only` as a compound modifier. Both raised by CodeRabbit on #547. Verified: the three compose files regenerate with a single trailing newline, still parse as YAML, and 21/21 tests pass.

…packages xunit.v3 4.0.0 drops the VSTest bridge, so `dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"` fails outright on the .NET 10 SDK with "Testing with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform". That is what has been blocking the nuget-deps bumps in #545 and #546, and it blocks every later bump until the runner moves. Follow WORKFLOW.md D1.6 as the hub settled it in ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1111, which chose Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage over coverlet: - `global.json` opts into the `Microsoft.Testing.Platform` runner. It carries no `sdk` section, so SDK resolution and roll-forward are untouched. - `xunit.runner.visualstudio` is dropped, the VSTest adapter having no role under native MTP. - `coverlet.collector` becomes `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` 18.9.0, whose predecessor's VSTest data collector MTP ignores without failing. The floor is load-bearing rather than cautionary: below 18.1.0 the extension is built against Microsoft.Testing.Platform 1.x and throws a `TypeLoadException` against the 2.x platform xunit.v3 4.0.0 carries, running zero tests while still writing a well-formed Cobertura file that reports full coverage. - The CI unit-test step becomes `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage`, then prefixes each report to `coverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml`. Both halves are load-bearing and neither reds the job on its own: `--coverage-output` stays unset so a second test project could not overwrite the first, and the default `<guid>.cobertura.xml` that produces is a name codecov-cli's finder does not match, its patterns being `*coverage*.*` and an exact `cobertura.xml`. Bundle the four package bumps the runner change unblocks: AwesomeAssertions 9.5.0 -> 9.6.0, xunit.analyzers 1.27.0 -> 2.0.0, xunit.v3 3.2.2 -> 4.0.0, and `xunit.runner.visualstudio` removed rather than bumped to 4.0.0. `.gitignore` gains the hub's coverage block. The output was untracked and unignored, so a blanket `git add -A` after a local coverage run would have staged it. Verified against the real invocation, not the documented one: 21 tests ran and passed (not the zero the version-floor trap produces), the extension resolved at 18.9.0 on Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.3, the run wrote `<guid>.cobertura.xml` and the prefix step renamed it as intended, both filename shapes are ignored while nothing tracked is, and the build, CSharpier, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes`, editorconfig-checker, actionlint, markdownlint and cspell gates are all clean.

#547 squash-merged into develop, so develop's tree is now byte-identical to this branch's ancestor 2efaeb2 while carrying a different commit id. The textual conflicts that produces are all cases where both sides made the same change, so this merge is recorded with the branch's tree, which already contains every one of those changes plus the runner migration on top. Verified before recording: `git diff origin/develop 2efaeb2` is empty, so the squash reproduced the branch's ancestor exactly and develop carries nothing this branch lacks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The test project now uses Microsoft.Testing.Platform with native code coverage support. CI generates Cobertura reports and uploads them through the existing Codecov flow. Documentation and ignore rules cover the new test and coverage workflow.

Changes

Native test coverage workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure Microsoft.Testing.Platform test execution `CreateMatrixTests/CreateMatrixTests.csproj`, `global.json`	The test project updates its test dependencies, adds the Microsoft Testing code coverage extension, removes legacy coverage and runner packages, and selects Microsoft.Testing.Platform.
Generate and manage Cobertura coverage `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`, `AGENTS.md`, `.gitignore`	CI uses native coverage options to generate Cobertura reports, prefixes discovered report names with `coverage-`, documents the workflow, and ignores generated coverage output.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d4a25

The PR migrates CI testing to the native Microsoft.Testing.Platform and updates related packages, with reported tests passing. The validation workflow should explicitly limit its repository token to read-only contents access; until that permission is confirmed or tightened, a bounded security risk remains.

Migrate tests to native Microsoft.Testing.Platform

🐞 Bug fix ⚙️ Configuration changes 📝 Documentation 🕐 20-40 Minutes

AI Description

• Migrate tests from VSTest to native Microsoft.Testing.Platform for .NET 10 compatibility.
• Replace Coverlet with MTP coverage while preserving unique Codecov-discoverable reports.
• Upgrade test dependencies and document local and CI test commands.

High-Level Assessment

The native MTP migration is the appropriate approach for xUnit v4 on .NET 10. Retaining VSTest or Coverlet would preserve the failing compatibility path, while forcing one coverage filename would risk cross-project overwrites; GUID outputs plus prefixing preserve uniqueness and Codecov discovery.

`validate-task.yml` declared no `permissions:` block at all, so its job ran with whatever the repository default grants. That default is `write` here, with `can_approve_pull_request_reviews` true, so a workflow that only reads the tree and runs linters and tests held a read/write `GITHUB_TOKEN` on every pull request, including the smoke path. GOVERNANCE.md "Workflow YAML Conventions" requires least privilege, and the hub's own copy of this workflow declares `contents: read` on each of its three jobs. `contents: read` is sufficient and proven: the hub's lint job runs the same markdownlint, cspell, actionlint and editorconfig-checker actions under it, and the Codecov upload authenticates with `CODECOV_TOKEN` rather than the workflow token. `test-pull-request.yml` gets the same on the two jobs that own their own steps. Its `validate` and `smoke-build` jobs are `uses:` calls, and a callee's scope is granted by the caller, so they take the callee's own declaration rather than one imposed here. Raised by CodeRabbit as a merge-risk note on #553, outside that diff and so carrying no thread. Pre-existing rather than introduced there. Verified: actionlint, markdownlint, cspell and editorconfig-checker all clean.

Promotes the ProjectTemplate resync to `main`. Five pull requests, merged to `develop` in order: #547, #553, #550, #551, #552. **Replaces #555.** That one opened `develop` directly into `main` and went `DIRTY`, which is the spurious EOL-only promotion conflict the fleet's own branching guidance names: `develop` flipped the `.editorconfig` line-ending default to LF and `main` has not caught up, so every renormalized path conflicts whole-file. `develop`'s squash-only ruleset and required linear history forbid resolving on `develop` itself, so the resolution is prepared on this throwaway branch off `main`, exactly as that guidance prescribes. Five files conflicted. Each was checked with the documented test rather than resolved on the shape of the conflict. `CreateMatrix/CreateMatrix.csproj`, `Make/Matrix.json` and `Make/Version.json` are content-identical modulo EOL. `CODESTYLE.md` and `CreateMatrixTests/CreateMatrixTests.csproj` genuinely differ, so each was proved a superset instead: every line present only on `main` is a superseded version, being the `AGENTS.md` routing that `develop` repointed to `GOVERNANCE.md`, the CRLF line-endings item, two list items renumbered when the encoding rule was inserted, and the pre-MTP test packages. **The merged tree is byte-identical to `develop`**, so nothing on `main` survives that `develop` had not already replaced. ## What lands | | | | --- | --- | | **Line endings** | `.gitattributes` becomes `* text=auto eol=lf` and `.editorconfig` declares `end_of_line = lf` on `[*]`, with `*.bat`/`*.cmd` the one CRLF exception. 85 tracked files renormalized. The `CreateMatrix` generator moves with them, or the codegen App would rewrite its own outputs back to CRLF on its next scheduled run. | | **Test runner** | Native Microsoft.Testing.Platform per WORKFLOW.md D1.6, as the hub settled it in ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1111. Unblocks the Dependabot bumps that had been red since xunit.v3 4.0.0 dropped the VSTest bridge. | | **Carried content** | The hub's `.github/skills/` tree (37 files, digest-verified), `host-tools.json`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GOVERNANCE.md`, and the shared lint config. | | **Instruction set** | `AGENTS.md` split onto the router model, from 243 lines to 115, with the repo-specific half moved to new `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `OPERATIONS.md`. `repo-config/` retired. | | **README** | Restructured to the fleet shape, eleven `readme-structure` findings closed, and the 2.15 release documented. | | **Security** | `validate-task.yml` and `test-pull-request.yml` given least privilege. They ran with the repository default, which is `write` on this repo with `can_approve_pull_request_reviews` true, while only ever reading the tree. | ## Reviewing the diff `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol origin/main origin/develop` reduces the 143-file diff to the substantive changes. Everything else is the CRLF-to-LF renormalization, which is the EOL-only promotion conflict the fleet's own branching guidance names. ## Checks before opening this `main` carries no content `develop` lacks. `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol origin/develop origin/main` shows 980 lines present only on `main`, and every one is a superseded version of something `develop` deliberately changed: `main`'s CRLF `.editorconfig` pins, its `* -text` `.gitattributes`, its pre-split 243-line `AGENTS.md`, its `AppendLineCrlf` generator, its `set -euo` run blocks. No file has content on `main` that is not either carried forward or intentionally replaced. The three commits labelled main-only were checked individually rather than assumed, since those are the ones the develop-staleness rule exists for: the cspell CI scope from #515/#517 is byte-identical on both branches, `CODESTYLE.md`'s "Spelling CI scope" from #516 is present, and the author-identity rule from #511 is in the carried `GOVERNANCE.md`. The commit counts look alarming and are not: `develop` is 19 ahead and 99 behind, but 70 of those 99 are bot merges that dual-target both branches as separate commits, and most of the rest are `main`'s own promotion merge commits, which never flow back by construction. ## Not in this promotion - **Two `interface` audit findings stay open by decision.** `publish-release.yml` missing job `publish` and `merge-bot-pull-request.yml` missing job `merge-bot` both resolve to adopting hub-hosted task workflows this repo has not adopted, and `spec/divergences.json` states adoption "is a separate, later change per repo". Renaming jobs to satisfy the checker would report conformance without adopting anything. - **The publish chain's workflow permissions**, filed as #554. Least privilege there is not `contents: read`, a wrong scope breaks publishing rather than failing a lint, and it would surface on a weekly scheduled run. - **An inert xUnit sequential collection**, filed as #548. ## Filed upstream Four issues against `ptr727/ProjectTemplate` from work this resync exposed: promotion candidates and two misleading interface findings (#1116, including my own correction retracting six of ten), the MTP zero-tests-locally behaviour (#1122), the version-floor guardrail (#1124), and 18 findings against carried canonical content that cannot be fixed downstream (#1131). ## Owed after merge The GitHub About description still carries the retired tagline. It feeds the Docker Hub short description through the docker-readme task, so that surface disagrees with the README until it is set by hand. `registry/repos.json` declares no `description` for this repo, so the configure script cannot write it.  ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Reorganized project documentation around NxWitness, including build, distribution, releases, product variants, troubleshooting, and release notes. - Added architecture, governance, operations, and comprehensive development guidance. - **Developer Experience** - Added editor tasks for building, formatting, validation, testing, and linting. - Standardized line endings and formatting across project files. - **CI and Quality** - Improved shell error reporting and workflow permission safety. - Updated coverage generation and test tooling. - Added stricter Markdown and spelling validation.
