FAQPage Schema
How do I run xUnit tests in a .NET project from the CLI?▼

Running xUnit tests in a .NET project requires identifying whether the repository uses VSTest or Microsoft.Testing.Platform as the active runner, then executing the tailored CLI commands for your project structure.

What is the difference between xUnit v2 and v3 for .NET testing?▼

The difference between xUnit v2 and v3 involves the appropriate runner model and integration with VSTest or Microsoft Testing Platform. Selecting the correct version ensures proper dependency management and test execution within your specific project structure.

How do I configure xUnit tests for a multi-project .NET solution?▼

Configuring xUnit tests for a multi-project .NET solution requires analyzing test project files and the nearest AGENTS.md to generate exact commands. This guides dependency management and execution across single-project, multi-project, and solution-level scenarios.

Does xUnit work with Microsoft Testing Platform instead of VSTest?▼

Yes, xUnit works with Microsoft Testing Platform instead of VSTest. The framework supports both runner models, and you can decide between them by evaluating your repository's active runner model and required test project files.

How do I diagnose failing xUnit tests in a .NET repository?▼

Diagnosing failing xUnit tests in a .NET repository involves applying actionable steps for execution and validation based on the active xUnit version and runner. This provides clear decision points and artifact outputs for CI troubleshooting.
