No support for mstest #48

Closed MichalSznajder closed 9 years ago

MichalSznajder commented 9 years ago

I just wanted to tried giles but it seems there is no support for MsTest.

Any chance of adding it?

codereflection commented 9 years ago

Thank you for the interest in Giles.

Unfortunately MSTest support will not be included in the foreseeable future. MSTest is a difficult framework to deal with, and I do not have the time to spend on it.

I recommend looking at NCrunch (https://www.ncrunch.net/) or Mighty Moose (http://continuoustests.com/), which both support MSTest.

Cheers, Jeff

I did some research on this about a year ago. Basically there were two ways I found to deal with mstest.

  1. use an nunit adapter, or
  2. use reflection to instantiate the internal .net class responsible for running mstest.

Both of those seemed less than ideal so I stopped using mstest.

For what it's worth, most of the public microsoft repositories seem to be using XUnit. See the project file for MVC5.

I also used NUnit for years but in my current situation I am stuck with MsTest. :cry:

@codereflection Would you accept pull request that uses MsTest.exe and than result XML file is parsed and returned to Giles (like described in http://stackoverflow.com/a/2595828/501) ?

codereflection commented 9 years ago

I would probably be OK with that.
