Define runsettings files #9648

Hello,

I have been searching for a way to provide runsettings file to NUnit tests in VS Mac / MonoDevelop but I could not find any.

I see that in vstest source code that commit handles the "RunSettingsFilePath" csproj parameter : https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/pull/2272/commits/9b6a5f710257ad3c7f385ece5b715d19370ef6c0#diff-47113dd1c77bf6ba6de0bc0ef271845dR34

So I am wondering if vstest is called by MonoDevelop when running NUnit tests...

Any idea or workaround ?

VS Test would be used if your project targets .NET Core. Otherwise it will not be using VS Test.

Also currently the run settings is generated at runtime by MonoDevelop - https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/f3f6dd3b443d7bb57a5f026f128e95385bbff89f/main/src/addins/MonoDevelop.UnitTesting/MonoDevelop.UnitTesting.VsTest/VsTestAdapter.cs#L62

You may be able to workaround this with a custom execution mode, and pass all parameters to vstest directly. Otherwise you would likely just have to fallback to using the command line.

If I understood correctly, my .csproj is using the .NET Core syntax with that : <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> But I am running with net461 so I use mono instead of .NET Core at runtime and if I follow what you say, VS Test is not used right ?

And so this GetRunSettings() call, is not used in my case since i'm not using .NET core, right ?

It depends. Looking at the code if it finds a PackageReference that contains NUnit, which you likely do have, then it will not use VS Test but uses the built-in NUnit support.
