dotnet-enable-testing-platform

To enable the Microsoft Testing Platform runner, you need a global.json file in your solution directory. This Skill automates creating or updating global.json to set the test runner, preserving existing configurations like sdk and msbuild-sdks sections.

Updating global.json with this Skill will not remove existing SDK and MSBuild settings. It merges the new Microsoft Testing Platform runner configuration into your existing global.json file, preserving other fields like sdk and msbuild-sdks sections.

To run the dotnet testing platform migration, you need a .NET solution with a .sln file in the current directory. The Skill automatically detects the solution file and updates or creates the necessary global.json configuration.

The Skill verifies the test runner configuration by automatically running dotnet build and dotnet test commands. It enforces JSON validity and reports the build and test results, including any errors encountered during the validation process.

You cannot use this global.json migration tool without a .sln file. The Skill specifically requires a .NET solution file to be present in the current directory to correctly apply the Microsoft Testing Platform runner configuration.

If your global.json is invalid after enabling the testing platform, the Skill will identify the issue during its validation phase. It attempts a dotnet build and dotnet test run, reporting any configuration errors or build failures that occur.
