Description

Fixes #5621 - The TypeContainingTestMethodShouldBeATestClassAnalyzer was not triggering warnings for structs containing [TestMethod] attributes.

Problem

Previously, the analyzer only checked classes for test methods, meaning this code would not produce any warning:

public struct TestStruct
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
    }
}

This was problematic because test methods in structs without the [TestClass] attribute are silently ignored by the test framework.

Solution

  • Modified the analyzer logic to examine both classes and structs for test methods
  • Updated error message from "Class '{0}' contains test methods..." to "Type '{0}' contains test methods..." to be more generic
  • Updated all localization files (xlf) with the new message format and marked translations for update
  • Added comprehensive test cases covering both positive and negative scenarios for structs

Changes Made

  1. TypeContainingTestMethodShouldBeATestClassAnalyzer.cs: Changed type filter from TypeKind.Class only to TypeKind.Class && TypeKind.Struct
  2. Resources files: Updated message format to use "Type" instead of "Class"
  3. Test coverage: Added tests for structs with and without test methods

Verification

The fix ensures that:

  • ✅ Structs with [TestMethod] now trigger the analyzer warning
  • ✅ Structs without test methods don't trigger false positives
  • ✅ Existing behavior for classes remains unchanged
  • ✅ Other types (interfaces, enums) continue to be excluded as expected

Fixes #5621
