问题
I'm trying to run .NET unit tests on the command line using MSTest
My command is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /testcontainer:"full path of dll" /resultsfile:TestResults.trx
When run it returns
Starting execution...
No tests to execute.
The unit test runs perfectly fine in VS 2012 IDE.
What do I need to do to get it running on the cmd line please?
回答1:
Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /testcontainer:full path of dll /resultsfile:TestResults.trx
Ie without the " " around your path to the dll

In my case I started getting "No tests to execute" on command line when I switched to .NET Framework 4.6.1. I had to switch from MSTest.exe to VSTest.Console.exe for it to work.
Some instructions on how to use vstest.console.exe are here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj155800.aspx

It turns out I needed to use the nunit-console as my tests are written in the nuint framework.
Live and learn I guess
回答4:
I was getting same message "No tests to execute".
What I found out was a silly mistake on my part - in command line, I was using MVCProj09292016.dll(my project DLL) for testcontainer:/ instead of using MVCProj09292016.Tests.dll(my test project assembly).
Bottom line is that check whether you are using correct dl name in command line:it should be your MStest project assembly, in my case it is MVCProj09292016.Tests.dll

I had the same issue when I was using XUnit. The problem was that I didn't had included xunit.runner for the project. It's not very obvious, since it only adds a reference to packages.config and csproj-file. It's not visible in Visual Studio references list. It is still obvious in a way that without a runner, how does the mstest know how to run xunit tests.
