Multiple test project on Visual studio

Question

Hi, I have created projects in solution like this

MySolution
 Solution Items (This created when I added test project in solution) (includes Local.testsettings, Mysolution.vsmdi, TraceAndTestImpact.testsettings)
 +Project1
 +Project1.Test
 +Project2

When I add new test project in solution, Project2.Tests for Project2, I can not run the this Project2.Test project. When I click run tests button, Project1 test projects are running.

Is this is a bug?

Answer 1

Hi youtubeline,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Can you give us a screen shot about the “run tests button” where you click?

I try to repro this project, open Test-> windows->Test View, select the Project2.Tests, and then click Run Selection, it works normally. Can you check it with my steps?

Best Regards,

I've seen exactly the same problem in VS2012.  I have a Unit Test project that works.  I add another Unit Test project and none of the tests in that project can be run.  The .csproj file is clearly a unit test file, according to the instructions in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/2192fac0-0de7-45c6-872a-2be49e95ce2c/  The icon of the new project didn't even include the Unit Test project icon (which is probably a minor bug).

The problem was that the test project didn't include any valid tests.  I thought that the test was valid, but they are only valid if they follow a specific signature:

    [TestClass]
    public class SomethingTests
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void testSomething()
        {
            ...
        }
    }

I had made my test async.  That's not allowed.
