New Test SDK is very broken.

[mwwhited]

The MSTest SDK is very broken. From logging to filtering it just simply doesn't work. Please provide a means to use the old format.

Moved the issue here where the new testing platform and mstest lives. How did you generate your project? At the moment all usage of mstest.sdk should be opt-in, so you knowingly use the new experience.

I would also like to know more details about what did not work for you, and the commands you've ran and the errors you've got, please :)

I would love if the template was opt-in... but every time I create a new MSTest project it is using the new MSTest SDK mess which is extremely brittle. I'll get the thing working and it works okay until the next update which breaks my local and server side build for hours until I figure out what is different. Also the fact that it hide everything from the console and doesn't detect tests as runtime really isn't useful. When it fails to detect tests it just doesn't run the tests but says they are successful which again really isn't helpful.

And when it does work it only lists the number of tests passed or failed but not the list of tests or their actual outputs. Generally it's a horrible user experience and I would love if I could just use the older version that's hasn't had any issues for years.

Also, the command I use is really complex... it's dotnet test

are you creating the project via dotnet new or via Visual Studio? What is the version of the dotnet sdk you are using? dotnet --info

If I used an old project as a template it works fine but if it has the TestPlatform B.S. it never works consistently.

[Evangelink]

@mwwhited just uncheck the MSTest.Sdk checkbox and it will remain unchecked. This is also disabled by default so if you see it checked that means you have enabled it at one point and didn't disable it.

[mwwhited]

Even with that unchecked it is adding test platform garbage. I'm just clearing the files by hand now. It would be really nice if you created new templates instead of breaking existing ones when you make these changes.

[Evangelink]

It would be really nice if you were posting any actionable information or example :)

[mwwhited]

It would be nice if I could have the old template... but here we are.
