Forcing MSTest to use a single thread

Question

Given this test fixture:

[TestClass]
public class MSTestThreads
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void Test1()
    {
              


        

Answer 1

I tried a bit of a different approach, because the underlying problem is that the names of the pipes are the problem. So I made a fakePipe, derived it from the one I use in the program. And named the pipe with the tests name.

[TestClass]
public class PipeCommunicationContractTests {
  private PipeDummy pipe;

  /// 

  ///Gets or sets the test context which provides
  ///information about and functionality for the current test run.
  ///
  public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }

  [TestInitialize]
  public void TestInitialize() {
     pipe = new PipeDummy(TestContext.TestName);
     pipe.Start();
  }

  [TestCleanup]
  public void TestCleanup() {
  {
     pipe.Stop();
     pipe = null;
  }
   ...
  [TestMethod]
  public void CallXxOnPipeExpectResult(){
      var result = pipe.Xx();
      Assert.AreEqual("Result",result); 
  }
}

It appears to be a bit faster, since we can run on multiple cores and threads...
