Fixie v2.0.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-09-03 // over 5 years ago

  • ✅ Visual Studio 15.8 included an intentional breaking change to the way Test Explorer discovers third party "test adapters" like Fixie.VisualStudio.TestAdapter.dll.

    Historically, Test Explorer would search for .NET Core adapters only in the build output folder, while it would search for .NET Framework adapters in both the build output folder and the referenced NuGet packages. When Fixie 2.0.0 was released, we took advantage of the NuGet package search in order to avoid having to wastefully copy the adapter DLL to the build outpuf folder for .NET Framework builds.

    🚀 Visual Studio 15.8 includes a breaking change in the interest of performance. The search no longer considers NuGet package contents when discovering test adapters. This release fixes Test Explorer integration by including the same DLL copy for .NET Framework projects as we've been doing for .NET Core projects.

    ✅ As a side effect, dotnet test integration is likewise improved, though we still recommend using dotnet fixie instead.
