Issues using DataTestMethod and DataRow attributes in MS Test

Question

I have installed MS Test V2 in my VS 2015 instance using nuGet and I have successfully added DataTestMethod and DataRow attributes to my unit tests and they compile, but now when I build, the tests don't show up in Test Explorer.

Example:

[DataTestMethod]
[DataRow("YAHOO", "GOOGLE")]
public void TestCheckSite(string site)
{
     ... do stuff here ...
}

What am I missing? Is there a Test Explorer upgrade?

Answer 1

• Install MSTest Framework: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MSTest.TestFramework/
• If you are building for .NET Core, then install this adapter: https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotnet-test-mstest/
• However, if you are building for desktop .NET/UWP, install this adapter instead: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MSTest.TestAdapter/
• Now write the tests and build your solution. The tests ought to show up in the Test Explorer.

Please let me know if you still do not see the tests showing up.
