Excluding tests with filters from CLI

[borislavml]

Is it possible to exclude some tests from running on the command line using attributes. With XUnit I can add an attribute like say [Trait("Category", "Integration")] and then I can filter the tests wen running like this dotnet test --filter "Category!=Integration". What would be the best way to do this with TUnit? I can see a Category attribute available but I can't find how to use it and if it's even applicable for filtering.

[thomhurst]

dotnet run --treenode-filter /**[Category!=Integration]

Filter info is here: https://thomhurst.github.io/TUnit/docs/tutorial-extras/test-filters

So I get it that this is supported only throughdotnet runand not dotnet test?

[thomhurst]

This should work: dotnet test -- --treenode-filter /**[Category!=Integration]

Thank you, it works indeed but I have a scenario where it wouldn't work because of my setup use-case. I may post about see if it's possible to do what I want, but it's not TUnit issue for sure.

Hello, will be this Category attribute shown in Test Explorer (Visual Studio)? When I enable traits in test explorer I still can't see it. I would like be able select only category which should be run. Also when writing code and just right click on method in which I am and choose Run Tests it just build project but it not run them

Hmm I haven't done anything regarding this specifically. I don't even know if it's supported in the new Microsoft testing platform yet. I'll check

@thomhurst I'm kind of stuck on this. I have CI/CD which runs dotnet test {sln}. The solution contains a bunch of xUnit tests and now I have added my TUnit project to that sln. So when I run the dotnet test command I now have to "filter twice", once using --filter for xUnit and once using --treenode-filter for TUnit but it seems impossible to supply both on the cli. I know this is not a problem of TUnit but it looks like a use-case which other people might have. So I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

I'm trying to run smth similar to
dotnet test .\PMSProxy.sln --filter 'FullyQualifiedName!~Integration.Test' -- --treenode-filter /**[Category!=Integration]

[thomhurst]

I don't think you can mix running xUnit and TUnit as xUnit uses VSTest and TUnit uses Microsoft.testing.platform

I would just run dotnet against the projects rather than the solution

Yeah, I guess I can't 😒 . Thanks for all the help 🙏 I really appreciate it.
