…ilter Adds a tip callout at the top of the existing test filters page to signpost the VSTest → Microsoft.Testing.Platform filter syntax change for users migrating from xUnit / NUnit / MSTest. Includes a small mapping table with the three most common --filter shapes. Motivation: `dotnet test --filter "Category=X"` is silently rejected on MTP (help printed, "Zero tests ran"). Looks like a test failure when it's just an unrecognised flag. Easy to miss that --treenode-filter is the replacement until you stumble on this page. Single-file docs-only change. The existing filter examples below the callout already cover the destination syntax comprehensively.

One alternative we considered but deliberately kept out of this PR: teaching the test runner to detect Not included here because it's a bigger surface (likely Microsoft.Testing.Platform-level CLI parsing rather than TUnit itself) and docs felt like the right first step. Flagging it in case it's worth an upstream conversation. |

Small docs-only change. Adds a tip callout to the top of the existing test filters page so users coming from xUnit / NUnit / MSTest find the
--filter→--treenode-filtermapping before they go looking for it.Why
VSTest's
dotnet test --filter "Category=X"is familiar to anyone migrating. On Microsoft.Testing.Platform the flag is silently rejected, the MTP help is printed, and the run exits withZero tests ran. It looks like a test failure when it's actually just an unrecognised flag — I hit this myself running an AI dev agent against a TUnit project (the agent spent ~11 minutes trying filter variations before giving up). Easy signposting seemed like the lightest-weight fix.Scope
Single file:
docs/docs/execution/test-filters.md. One callout block plus a three-row mapping table, links back into the existing filter examples that already cover the destination syntax comprehensively. Nothing else touched.Alternatives considered
xunit.md,nunit.md,mstest.md). They currently focus on code syntax rather than CLI, so one central callout felt lighter than three duplicate ones.Love TUnit — using it heavily on a new project. Thanks for building it.
