Migrate tests from MSTest to xUnit and clean up test infrastructure by Copilot · Pull Request #193 · microsoft/RecursiveExtractor

Copilot · 2026-02-04T21:53:51Z

Migrates the test projects from MSTest to xUnit and updates the CI pipeline configuration.

Test Framework Migration (MSTest → xUnit)

Replaced MSTest with xUnit (v2.9.3)
Updated test attributes: [TestMethod] → [Fact], [DataRow] → [Theory]/[InlineData]/[MemberData]
Updated assertions to use xUnit equivalents
Added coverlet.collector for code coverage

Pipeline Updates

Updated dotnetTestArgs to use --settings coverlet.runsettings --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
Added coverlet.runsettings file to configure coverage output format (cobertura,opencover) for ADO pipeline compatibility
Added PublishCodeCoverageResults@2 task via postTest parameter to publish code coverage results to Azure DevOps

Code Cleanup

Fixed indentation issues in test files
Removed obsolete MSTest-specific configurations

Original prompt

When running the tests in this repository I see a number of MSTest warnings in the logs. I also notice that the ado pipeline at the end of the run notes ##[warning]No test result files were found. Can you resolve these test warnings and the issue that the test results (and presumably code coverage) is not being properly consumed by the pipeline? If needed to perform a restore you may modify the nuget.config to use the public feed instead of the private feed but do not commit changes to nuget.config.

Fixed all MSTest warnings in commit cca4e14. The changes include:

Replaced [DataTestMethod] with [TestMethod] (MSTEST0044)
Replaced Assert.ThrowsException with Assert.ThrowsExactly (MSTEST0039)
Replaced [ExpectedException] with Assert.ThrowsExactly (MSTEST0006)
Replaced Assert.AreEqual(n, collection.Count) with Assert.HasCount(n, collection) (MSTEST0037)
Removed duplicate DataRow attributes (MSTEST0042)
Added [assembly: Parallelize] attribute (MSTEST0001)
Added TestContext property and CancellationToken support to async tests (MSTEST0049)
Updated pipeline to use --logger trx --results-directory for proper test result file output

Build now succeeds with 0 warnings and 0 errors.

Fixed in bdfa42c. Reverted the pipeline dotnetTestArgs back to the original format '-- --coverage --report-trx'. The --results-directory argument was causing the parsing error because of the path variable expansion. The MSTest Testing Platform's --report-trx flag will generate TRX files automatically in the output directory.

Fixed in 1e3c7b2. Changed the pipeline dotnetTestArgs to use --logger trx --results-directory TestResults -- --coverage. This uses the standard VSTest TRX logger with a relative path for the results directory (avoiding the path parsing issue we had before with $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/TestResults). The TRX files will now be generated in a TestResults folder that the pipeline template should be able to locate with its standard glob patterns.

RecursiveExtractor.Tests/ExtractorTests/BaseExtractorTestClass.cs

Replaced individual class fixtures with a shared ExtractorTestCollection using Xunit's [CollectionDefinition] and ICollectionFixture<BaseExtractorTestClass>. This ensures all extractor test classes share a single fixture instance, preventing race conditions and premature deletion of shared resources during parallel test execution.

Removed the [Collection(ExtractorTestCollection.Name)] attribute from EncryptedArchiveTests, FilterTests, MiniMagicTests, TestQuinesAndSlip, and TimeOutTests. These test classes are no longer grouped in a shared test collection - the collection was used to protect against premature deletion of the temp directory but these tsts don't extract files to disc.

Index and Range polyfills were removed since they are now provided by Microsoft.Bcl.Memory as a transitive dependency. The file retains only the RuntimeHelpers.GetSubArray polyfill for array range syntax support on netstandard2.0.

Added the null-forgiving operator (`!`) to the `name` variable in the `while` loop condition to suppress potential null reference warnings. `name` is expected to be non-null at this point in the code becauses of the previous IsNullorEmpty check - however that isn't tagged on netstandard2.0.
