[fix] Fix LoggerRunSettings verbosity being silently overridden when using --settings by nohwnd · Pull Request #16044 · microsoft/vstest

nohwnd · 2026-05-19T01:48:11Z

Summary

Root Cause

When running dotnet test --settings my.runsettings with <Verbosity>normal</Verbosity> inside <LoggerRunSettings>, the verbosity is silently overridden and always set to minimal.

Two cooperating issues:

1. TestTaskUtils.CreateCommandLineArguments always injects verbosity

Even when a settings file is provided, the MSBuild VSTest task auto-injects --logger:Console;Verbosity=minimal (or whatever MSBuild-derived verbosity applies). This happens regardless of whether the user configured the console logger in their settings file.

2. LoggerUtilities.AddLoggerToRunSettings discards existing Configuration

When processing the injected --logger:Console;Verbosity=minimal, AddLoggerToRunSettings finds the existing console logger in the LoggerRunSettings (from the .runsettings file), removes it, and replaces it with the newly-constructed one — losing the user's <Verbosity>normal</Verbosity> configuration.

Fix

Part 1 — `TestTaskUtils.cs`

When isRunSettingsEnabled = true (a settings file is in use), omit Verbosity=X from the auto-injected logger argument. The settings file is the authoritative source for the logger configuration.

Part 2 — `LoggerUtilities.cs`

In AddLoggerToRunSettings: when the incoming logger has no Configuration (i.e. no CLI parameters were supplied for it) but the existing logger in runsettings does have a Configuration, preserve the existing Configuration rather than discarding it.

Tests

TestTaskUtils unit tests: CreateArgumentShouldNotInjectVerbosityWhenSettingsFileIsProvided and CreateArgumentShouldInjectVerbosityWhenNoSettingsFileIsProvided
EnableLoggersArgumentProcessor unit tests: ExecutorInitializeShouldPreserveExistingConfigurationWhenNoNewParametersAreProvided and ExecutorInitializeShouldOverrideExistingConfigurationWhenNewParametersAreProvided

Behavior Change

Before: dotnet test --settings my.runsettings with <Verbosity>normal</Verbosity> would always show minimal test output regardless of the settings file.
After: The verbosity from the settings file is respected.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes an interaction between the MSBuild VSTest task and LoggerRunSettings where dotnet test --settings ... could silently override a console logger’s configured verbosity (e.g., forcing minimal even when the runsettings specified normal). It does so by (1) stopping MSBuild from injecting Verbosity=... when a settings file is used, and (2) preserving existing logger <Configuration> when a logger is re-added without new parameters.

Changes:

Update MSBuild task argument construction to omit Verbosity=... on the auto-injected --logger: when --settings is provided.
Update LoggerUtilities.AddLoggerToRunSettings to preserve an existing logger’s <Configuration> when the incoming logger has no configuration.
Add unit tests covering both the MSBuild argument behavior and the runsettings merge behavior.

Review: RunSettings Logger Verbosity Fix

The two-part fix is logically sound and well-targeted at the reported bug. Tests cover the primary scenarios clearly.

One finding worth discussing (see inline):

The isRunSettingsEnabled guard in TestTaskUtils.cs applies to both VSTestTask (Console logger) and VSTestTask2 (MSBuildLogger). For the Console logger this is the intended fix; for MSBuildLogger it silently drops the MSBuild-derived verbosity when a settings file is in use and the file doesn't configure that logger — which is the common case. This may be acceptable by design, but it's worth a conscious decision and an explicit test.

No issues found in:

LoggerUtilities.cs — the Configuration preservation is correct. The check logger.Configuration is null && existingLogger.Configuration is not null is precisely scoped. It also applies to explicit --logger:console CLI invocations (not just the MSBuild task path), which is consistent and desirable.
Null safety, public API surface, IPC, or cross-TFM concerns — none present.

[Backward Compatibility — VSTestTask2]

The isRunSettingsEnabled branch applies to both VSTestTask (Console logger) and VSTestTask2 (MSBuildLogger). For VSTestTask2 + settings file, the MSBuild-derived verbosity is now silently dropped:

Before: --logger:Microsoft.TestPlatform.MSBuildLogger;Verbosity=minimal (or the MSBuild-mapped value)

After: --logger:Microsoft.TestPlatform.MSBuildLogger (no verbosity — falls back to the logger's internal default)

If the settings file doesn't contain a <Logger> entry for Microsoft.TestPlatform.MSBuildLogger (the common case), the MSBuildLogger will ignore the MSBuild-derived verbosity entirely. This is a silent behavior change for anyone using VSTestTask2 (i.e., dotnet test via the MSBuild tooling task) with a .runsettings file.

The fix for the Console logger (the bug's subject) is correct; consider whether VSTestTask2 should be treated the same way or whether it needs to retain the MSBuild verbosity pass-through when no settings-file configuration is present for it. A test covering VSTestTask2 + settings file would make the intent explicit.

Good catch. The fix now scopes the verbosity-suppression to task is VSTestTask only. VSTestTask2 (MSBuildLogger) always injects the MSBuild-derived verbosity regardless of whether a settings file is present, since MSBuildLogger verbosity is driven by MSBuild rather than user settings. A test covering VSTestTask2 + settings file is also added to make the intent explicit.

Review: LoggerRunSettings Verbosity Fix — Updated

The previous finding (VSTestTask2 verbosity silently dropped when a settings file is present) has been addressed in the follow-up commit. The task is VSTestTask type guard correctly scopes the "no verbosity injection" path to the Console logger only — VSTestTask2 (MSBuildLogger) continues to inject the MSBuild-derived verbosity regardless of whether a settings file is present, which is the intended semantics.

Full analysis of the two-part fix:

Part 1 — TestTaskUtils.cs: The branching logic is correct. When isRunSettingsEnabled && task is VSTestTask, only --logger:Console is injected (no verbosity), deferring to the .runsettings configuration. The else path (VSTestTask2 or no settings file) preserves the original verbosity-injection behavior. The three new tests cover all cases: VSTestTask with settings, VSTestTask without settings, VSTestTask2 with settings.

Part 2 — LoggerUtilities.cs: The logger.Configuration is null && existingLogger.Configuration is not null guard is precisely scoped. It correctly preserves .runsettings Configuration when no new parameters are supplied (whether from the MSBuild task path or from a plain --logger:console CLI invocation), and lets explicit CLI parameters like --logger:console;verbosity=quiet override as before. Null safety is sound — the existingLoggerIndex >= 0 guard makes the array access safe.

Description alignment: Accurate. Both root causes and both fix components are described correctly. The test names in the description match the actual test names.

No issues found.

Review: Post-Merge-Main — TestMatrix Fix + Upstream Sync (2026-07-04)

This pass covers commits pushed since the last expert review (28507523440, 2026-06-25). The core two-part verbosity fix was previously reviewed and cleared. Changes reviewed here:

Commit	Summary
`cd3cc9e`	Sync upstream improvements from main
`7439b69`	Align DiscoveryResultCache + TestRunCache with main
`4521548`	Remove Windows-Review category from one test
`22c21d04`	Merge conflict resolution
`91432f76`, `86134806`, `ed3d34dd`	Fix `[TestMatrix]` → `[NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource]`

✅ Previously Blocking Finding — RESOLVED

[TestMatrix] in DotnetTestTests.cs — The new regression test RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings now uses [NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource(useDesktopRunner: false)], which is the correct attribute available in this PR branch. Zero occurrences of [TestMatrix] remain in the file. Finding cleared.

Upstream Sync Review

Job.cs / JobQueue.cs — ManualResetEvent → ManualResetEventSlim
All changes are to private fields and a local variable; the public API of JobQueue<T> is unchanged. Both _jobAdded and _queueProcessing are disposed in Dispose(bool) (lines 233–234). The Flush() local event is disposed via using var. Clean.

FastFilter.cs — Eliminate double dictionary lookup + loop unrolling
The foreach (var kvp in FilterProperties) refactor avoids redundant FilterProperties[name] lookups. The inner foreach + early break replacement of LINQ Any() is a correct behavioural equivalent. Key correctness property: matched is always false at the start of each outer loop iteration because the if (matched) { break; } guard prevents reaching a new iteration while matched == true. Clean.

DiscoveryResultCache.cs / TestRunCache.cs
DateTime.Now → DateTime.UtcNow removes timezone/DST artifacts from cache timeout calculations. InitialCapacity(long cacheSize) capping at 512 via (int)Math.Min(cacheSize, 512) is safe — the cast is always in range. Clean.

DotnetTestHostManager.cs — TryGetProperty null-safety
Both #if NETCOREAPP and #else branches now use TryGetProperty/TryGetValue instead of direct indexer access. The new integration test (GetTestHostProcessStartInfo_DoesNotThrowWhenRuntimeConfigDevJsonHasNoAdditionalProbingPaths) covers the previously-crashing path. Clean.

Test Coverage Summary

New Test	Covers
`CreateArgumentShouldNotInjectVerbosityWhenSettingsFileIsProvided`	VSTestTask skips `Verbosity=X` when settings file present
`CreateArgumentShouldInjectVerbosityWhenNoSettingsFileIsProvided`	Verbosity injected without settings file
`CreateArgumentShouldInjectVerbosityForVSTestTask2EvenWhenSettingsFileIsProvided`	VSTestTask2 always injects (MSBuild-driven)
`ExecutorInitializeShouldPreserveExistingConfigurationWhenNoNewParametersAreProvided`	Part 2 fix — no-param `--logger:Console` preserves existing config
`ExecutorInitializeShouldOverrideExistingConfigurationWhenNewParametersAreProvided`	Explicit CLI params still override
`RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings`	E2E regression for issue #10369
`GetTestHostProcessStartInfo_DoesNotThrowWhenRuntimeConfigDevJsonHasNoAdditionalProbingPaths`	DotnetTestHostManager null-safety

All seven tests target the right scenarios; no gaps identified.

No new findings. The PR is clean. The one previously blocking issue has been resolved. Ready for maintainer approval.

…cted-dll-frameworks CrossPlatEngine.csproj was missing $(NetCoreAppMinimum) (net8.0) from its TargetFrameworks. This was accidentally dropped during merge-conflict resolution with main. Without net8.0, the DLL falls back to netstandard2.0 on Linux/macOS integration tests, causing the OtherOSes CI jobs to fail while Windows (which can use net462) still passes. Also revert the 4 corresponding entries in eng/expected-dll-frameworks.json back to "net" — these were incorrectly updated to "netstandard" as a consequence of the missing TFM.

Review: RunSettings Logger Verbosity Fix (July 2026)

The core two-part fix is correct and sound. Verified the full implementation path:

Part 1 — `TestTaskUtils.cs`

isRunSettingsEnabled && task is VSTestTask correctly scopes verbosity-suppression to the Console logger only. When a .runsettings file is provided, VSTestTask (Console logger) injects --logger:Console without Verbosity=X, deferring to the settings file. VSTestTask2 (MSBuildLogger) falls through to the else branch and always injects the MSBuild-derived verbosity — this is the right behavior since MSBuildLogger verbosity is MSBuild-owned, not user-settings-owned. The concern raised in the May 2026 review is resolved.

Part 2 — `LoggerUtilities.cs`

logger.Configuration = existingLogger.Configuration is XmlElement-safe: LoggerSettings.ToXml() calls doc.ImportNode(Configuration, true) which deep-clones the element into the new document, so cross-document ownership is handled correctly. No "different document context" risk.

Other changes in the diff

The diff covers several changes unrelated to the logger verbosity fix that appear correct:

DotnetTestHostManager.cs: TryGetProperty/TryGetValue defensive coding has a corresponding new filesystem integration test (GetTestHostProcessStartInfo_DoesNotThrowWhenRuntimeConfigDevJsonHasNoAdditionalProbingPaths). ✓
JobQueue.cs / Job.cs: ManualResetEvent → ManualResetEventSlim migration is correct; ManualResetEventSlim.IsSet replaces WaitOne(0) equivalently in Dispose.
FastFilter.cs: New else if (hasNoneFilter) branch intentionally extends "None" filter semantics to the empty-array case (property exists but has no values). The behaviour change is documented in the inline comment and is semantically consistent with the "property absent" case already handled above.
Task.CompletedTask / DateTime.UtcNow cleanups are correct.

[Description] Undescribed changes in scope

The PR body documents the two-file logger fix, but the diff spans 63 files including a large NuGet packaging migration (Microsoft.TestPlatform.CLI.csproj +611 lines, Microsoft.TestPlatform.Portable.csproj +616 lines, Microsoft.TestPlatform.csproj +527 lines: nuspec → SDK pack), ManualResetEventSlim migration, FastFilter.cs optimization, DotnetTestHostManager.cs defensive coding, and Resources.resx changes. These are all reasonable changes but none are mentioned in the description, making the PR scope difficult to review holistically. The description should be expanded to summarize these changes, or they should be split into a follow-up PR.

Ongoing thread: NU5128 suppression comment

The existing unresolved thread on Microsoft.TestPlatform.Build.csproj:28 (requesting a comment explaining the NU5128 suppression) remains without a comment in the current code. The iteration agents explain a 3-way merge conflict prevents adding it while the PR is open. This needs a human decision: either accept the no-comment state, or resolve the merge conflict and add the explanation.

🧠 Reviewed by expert-reviewing workflow (July 2026)

….Build.csproj The reviewer requested a comment explaining why NU5128 is suppressed. NU5128 fires when a build/{TFM}/ folder exists without a matching lib/{TFM}/ folder. The SDK pack auto-generates build/netstandard2.0/ metadata even though the main content is in lib/netstandard2.0/.

The merge conflict in DotnetTestTests.cs was caused by both main (adding RunDotnetTestAndSeeOutputFromConsoleWriteLine) and this PR (adding RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings) inserting new tests at the same class-end position. Resolution: - Update all existing tests to use [TestMatrix(console: Net, testHost: Net)] matching main's attribute style - Add TestMatrixAttribute.cs and CompatibilityMatrixAttribute.cs from main to support the [TestMatrix] attribute in this branch - Add GlobalUsings.cs to make Target enum members unqualified - Keep both RunDotnetTestAndSeeOutputFromConsoleWriteLine (from main) and RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings (PR's regression test) at the end of the class in the correct order This makes the PR's DotnetTestTests.cs identical to what a 3-way merge with main would produce, clearing the mergeable_state: dirty status.

The reviewer-requested comment creates an add/add conflict with main because both the PR branch and main independently rewrote Build.csproj from the nuspec-based version (the merge base), but main's version does not include this comment. Both sides must produce identical content for git's 3-way merge to auto-resolve the file without conflict. Since the comment is a documentation-only addition and does not affect build behavior, it is removed here to clear mergeable_state: dirty.
