Release Notes: May 31, 2023

xUnit.net v2 2.5.0 Pre-Release (build 22)

This is co-released with xunit.analyzers version 1.2.0-pre.9 and xunit.runner.visualstudio version 2.5.0-pre.15.

Core framework

• Added assembly-wide ExcludeFromCodeCoverageAttribute to all the xUnit.net assemblies. This should resolve issues with dotnet test ---collect "Code Coverage" (the new cross-platform code coverage system) incorrectly showing coverage for xUnit.net itself. xunit/xunit#2682
• Updated support for TeamCity, to better support flow IDs, which should now correctly show hierarchy with test collections, as well as supported nested flows via TEAMCITY_PROCESS_FLOW_ID. xunit/xunit#2385

Runners

• We are now shipping .NET 4.8 and 4.8.1 versions of xunit.console.exe and xunit.console.x86.exe. New MSBuild parameters are available (when referencing the xunit.runner.console NuGet package) which point to the console runner executable on disk:
  • XunitConsole48Path
  • XunitConsole48PathX86
  • XunitConsole481Path
  • XunitConsole481PathX86

Extensibility

• BUG: Fixed an issue where a malformed FactAttribute-derived class could cause tests to become inappropriately ignored due to an exception throw during discovery. Now, when a test method is decorated with a misbehaving attribute, the test will still be discovered, and when run it will fail with information about the failure. Unaffected tests in the same class will no longer be affected by this failure. xunit/xunit#2719
