Steps to Reproduce

Specflow for Visual Studio Version: 2019.0.9.46639

jbhano commented 5 years ago

And if I go back to Specflow v2.4.0, SpecRun.Runner v1.8.5, SpecRun.SpecFlow v1.8.5 - it's not able to find any test in Test Explorer

SabotageAndi commented 5 years ago

SpecFlow.Tools.MSBuild.Generation is needed for SpecFlow 3. See https://specflow.org/2019/generating-code-behind-files-using-msbuild/ & https://specflow.org/documentation/Generate-Tests-from-MsBuild/

Also remove the plugin section from your app.config. SpecFlow 3 doesn't use it anymore for plugins.

jbhano commented 5 years ago

Added SpecFlow.Tools.MSBuild.Generation nuget package, code snippet in .proj file and removed 'SpecFlowSingleFileGenerator' from all feature files. Also, removed plug-in section, now getting below issue and if I comment unitTestProvider, error goes away but it's not finding tests and error in Tests log is "Unable to fetch symbols for class: Specflow.SpecRun"

SabotageAndi commented 5 years ago

Ok, you have also the unitTestProvider set in the app.config You need to remove this also.

See https://specflow.org/2019/updating-to-specflow-3/ - App.config Deprecated

jbhano commented 5 years ago

OK, created specflow.json.

`{ "bindingCulture": { "language": "en-us" }, "language": { "feature": "en-us" },

"unitTestProvider": { "name" : "SpecRun" }, "plugins": []

} `

It's still not able to find any test in Tets Explorer - getting following error in Tests pane

[4/8/2019 5:56:54 PM Informational] NUnit Adapter 3.13.0.0: Test discovery starting [4/8/2019 5:56:54 PM Informational] NUnit Adapter 3.13.0.0: Test discovery complete [4/8/2019 5:56:54 PM Error] Unable to fetch symbols for class: xxxx.Specflow.SpecRun [4/8/2019 5:56:54 PM Warning] Unable to fetch source Information for test method: xxx.Specflow::SpecRun

Stephen-Mc commented 5 years ago

You need to completely remove the unitTestProvider from your configuration, as Andi wrote above. The unit test provider is now configured by installing the appropriate NuGet package, i.e. one of the following:

So remove this section:

"unitTestProvider": {
"name" : "SpecRun"
},
jbhano commented 5 years ago

Here's my specflow.json

{ "bindingCulture": { "language": "en-us" }, "language": { "feature": "en-us" },

"plugins": []

}

And I have SpecRun.Runner, still same issue - Test explorer not able to find tests

Nuget Packages

SabotageAndi commented 5 years ago

@jbhano We released yesterday new packages for SpecFlow and SpecFlow+Runner. My current assumption is, that you have a problem with the manual editing of the csproj file. With the latest release, it isn't anymore needed to manually change your csproj.
