Babelserver.DotNet.TestAdapter.xUnit 1.0.2

.NET Test Logger

A test logger for dotnet test that provides test output with status indicators for each individual test, inspired by Maven's Surefire output and matching the Gradle Test Logger Plugin.

Features

• Shows pass/fail/skip status for each individual test
• Displays a summary with test counts
• Skip reasons displayed when available
• Error messages and stack traces for failed tests

Installation

Add to your test project's .csproj:

<PackageReference Include="Babelserver.DotNet.TestAdapter.xUnit" Version="1.0.2" />

This single package includes both an xUnit adapter that suppresses xUnit's console noise and the Babelserver.DotNet.TestLogger implementation of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.ObjectModel.Client.ITestLogger.

Important: Do remove xunit.runner.visualstudio from your project (this package replaces it). If both are present, tests may run twice and xUnit's console noise will reappear.

Loggers

Two loggers are available:

Grouped output (default)

Parameterized tests are grouped into a single line:

  ✅ MyTheoryTest (4 runs) (10ms)

If some runs fail, details are shown:

  ❌ MyTheoryTest (2/4 runs failed) (10ms)
    ► MyTheoryTest(input: 2, expected: 3)
    Error: Assert.Equal() Failure...

Verbose output

Use --logger listAll to see every parameterized test individually:

  ✅ MyTheoryTest(input: 1, expected: 2) (2ms)
  ✅ MyTheoryTest(input: 2, expected: 4) (1ms)
  ✅ MyTheoryTest(input: 3, expected: 6) (0ms)

Requirements

• .NET 8.0 or later
• xUnit 2.x (for the xUnit adapter)

How It Works

This solution consists of two packages:

1. Babelserver.DotNet.TestLogger - An ITestLoggerWithParameters implementation that formats test results

2. Babelserver.DotNet.TestAdapter.xUnit - A minimal VSTest adapter that wraps xUnit execution while suppressing its console output. This package automatically includes the TestLogger.
