Expected behavior

I would like to debug tests. Could you provide working configuration of my plugins?

Actual behavior

I am unable to debug tests after upgrade from Visual Studio 2015 to 2017

Steps to reproduce

I can run selected tests from Test Explorer but progress bar in Test Explorer is always stuck at 50% and I have to Cancel execution to run tests again. I can not debug test - there is message in output The program '[27768] testhost.x86.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0). and test disappear from test explorer after that (it reappear if I run/debug other test)

I have tried to upgrade everything to the latest builds but then I but after that I was not able to run test anymore because of such error:

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: There was an error deserializing the object of type Gauge.VisualStudio.TestAdapter.TestExecutionEvent.

@mdramski what version of gauge Visual Studio plugin are you using? Also please update csharp plugin to the latest version and try.

I use 0.3.6 Gauge plugin for Visual Studio. Updating csharp to 0.10.5 did not help. With this version I am unable to run test case because test never starts (infinite spinner loop).

@mdramski I am able to replicate the issue with VS2017. Thanks for reporting. We will look at fixing this soon.

The fix should be available in nightly >= 5-3-2019

Works as expected with Nightly 5-3-2019
