MSTest: No tests are run because no tests are loaded or the selected tests are disabled

Question

I have a c# solution with the following structure:

mySolution
  myProject
  myProject.MSTests
    References
      Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTe         


        

Answer 1

I've just manually done this:

Created a new C# class library project with the following code:

namespace SO_Answer
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public void Test()
        {
            var k = "Hello";
        }
    }
}

Saved the project and then went to 'File->Add->New Project' and chose 'Test Project'. After VS created the unit test project, I added a reference to the class library project I created earlier.

In my test I have this code:

namespace Unit_Test
{
    /// 

    /// Summary description for UnitTest1
    /// 
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        /// 

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

        #region Additional test attributes

        // You can use the following additional attributes as you write your tests:
        // Use ClassInitialize to run code before running the first test in the class
        // [ClassInitialize()]
        // public static void MyClassInitialize(TestContext testContext) { }
        // Use ClassCleanup to run code after all tests in a class have run
        // [ClassCleanup()]
        // public static void MyClassCleanup() { }
        // Use TestInitialize to run code before running each test 
        // [TestInitialize()]
        // public void MyTestInitialize() { }
        // Use TestCleanup to run code after each test has run
        // [TestCleanup()]
        // public void MyTestCleanup() { }
        #endregion

        /// 

        /// The test method 1.
        /// 
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            var f = new Class1();

        }
    }
}

The only code I added was the a using statement and the var f = new Class1(); statement. Looking at the MSTest runner, I can see TestMethod1 appear.

I can't think of a reason why your unit tests are not being picked up. The only time I've had this is because I was using the MSTest runner to try and view NUnit tests by mistake. Try starting from scratch.
