Chutzpah VS extension is shipping MSTest dlls #825

Hi there,

I am wondering if this is expected that Chutzpah Adapter VS extension is shipping MSTest dlls. My understanding is that chutzpah is not at all relying on MSTest to run its tests (or am I missing something?).

Hi @mmanela,

Is it something you can help me with? Or can you point me to the person who could help here?

mmanela commented 1 year ago

@Evangelink Which specific dlls are you speaking of?

Evangelink commented 1 year ago

@mmanela The chutzpah adapter extension for VS is shipping the following 2 MSTests dlls:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestFramework.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestFramework.Extensions.dll

Because of some technical limitation we couldn't bump the assembly version of MSTest and so as vstest.console.exe is loading dlls from VS folders before nuget folder, we end up loading MSTest framework dll from your extension which is causing runtime issue (because code was changed).

I was wondering why these 2 dlls are shipped? AFAIK it seems you don't need MSTest from chutzpah to work.

This might explain why my test explorer stops working again and again with an error "Field TestContext not found.". It probably uses the shipped dll's. Just a guess, I ended up disabling the extension which at least for now seems to resolve the issue.
