BUG: Missing coverage about coverlet

[tonerdo]

What's .trx?

[pms1969]

it's the logger output for dotnet test.

To run my tests, I do the following:

    time \
        dotnet test \
            --no-build \
            --no-restore \
            --filter 'TestCategory!=Integration&TestCategory!=Explicit&TestCategory!=Performance' \
            --logger:trx \
            -r .output/ \
            $testproj \
            /nowarn:NU1701,NU1603,NU1605 \
            /p:CollectCoverage=true \
            /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover

the --logger:trx, produces the trx output file (which is vstest output format?). This is then picked up by sonarqube and processed to identify failed tests.

@pms1969 Once again it seems we are have some of the same issues. I think it is because we are attempting to run this in a CI/CD environment. I encountered the same no output if I have the --no-build and --no-restore switch. When I removed the switch I would I get the "because it is being used by another process" issue again. I discovered if I let the process build into empty directory it would fail. When I ran a dotnet publish and specified the configuration switch to it previously run publish directory it would succeed. I have put my successful patterns below.

dotnet publish src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj -c Debug
dotnet add src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj package coverlet.msbuild --version 1.1.0
dotnet test src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=json -c Debug

---

dotnet publish src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj -c Release
dotnet add src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj package coverlet.msbuild --version 1.1.0
dotnet test src/Server.Tests/Server.Tests.csproj /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=json -c Release

@sampwil Thanks. I haven't had time to circle back to this yet. Hopefully soon. I thought I'd managed to rid us of the "used by another process" problem. but apparently not. There's a newer version out, since I posted this originally, so maybe something in there fixes this. maybe not :/ I'll just have to play again and see.

Unfortunately publishing, and rebuilding every time doesn't work for us. The coverage job takes neigh on 22 minutes at present. Using coverlet and linux docker instead of the current dotcover and windows, I can get the time down to 14'ish minutes. It has to be something simple.
