[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: Merge-Conflict Resolution Pass (2026-07-03)

This pass covers the commits pushed since the last expert review (28010290057, 2026-06-25):

Commit	Summary
`7f7df12`	Align CLI packaging with main (nuspec → MSBuild pack)
`cd3cc9e`	Sync upstream improvements (Task.CompletedTask, InitialCapacity, DateTime.UtcNow, DotnetTestHostManager null-safety)
`709b73d`/`8414103`/`093d954`	NU5128 comment add/remove cycle
`4521548`	Remove Windows-Review category from test (align with main)
`7439b69`	Pick up InitialCapacity pre-allocation from main (#16165)
`1ed57a2`	Align packaging .csproj with main (forward slashes, `_CliContentTfm`)
`22c21d0`	Merge-conflict resolution: XLF translations + DotnetTestTests.cs

New acceptance test — `RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings` ✅

The regression test is well-constructed:

Uses /p:VSTestUseMSBuildOutput=false to force the VSTestTask code path (Console logger), which is the correct path to exercise the bug.
Uses -tl:off to prevent the terminal logger from interfering with stdout assertions.
Asserts StdOutputContains("Passed PassingTest") — a valid sentinel for normal verbosity (at minimal/buggy verbosity, passed test names are suppressed).
ValidateSummaryStatus(1, 1, 1) matches the SimpleTestProject asset. ✅
[TestMatrix(console: Net, testHost: Net)] — net-only scope is appropriate; the bug is in the MSBuild task (dotnet test path), not the Framework path.

No issues.

InitialCapacity pull-forward (`DiscoveryResultCache`, `TestRunCache`) ✅

Math.Min(cacheSize, 512) is a safe bounded pre-allocation. Both classes already hold _syncObject locks on every mutating path. No threading concerns introduced.

XLF conflict resolution ✅

Accepting main's state='translated' strings over the branch's needs-review-translation state is correct — the translations already landed in main via the normal localization pipeline.

Open threads

Thread #1 (TestTaskUtils.cs:116): The task is VSTestTask guard is in place in the current code — the concern is addressed. Thread has an acknowledging reply but is not yet marked resolved.
Thread #19 (Microsoft.TestPlatform.Build.csproj NU5128 comment): Intentionally omitted to avoid a 3-way merge conflict. The explanation in thread #19 is sound — the comment can be added to main as a follow-up after this PR merges.

No new correctness, threading, API, or compatibility issues found in the new commits.

Review: Logger Verbosity Fix — Compilation Failure in Acceptance Test (2026-07-04)

This pass covers the commits pushed since the last review (28569279235, 2026-06-25 08:39 UTC): six conflict-resolution commits and three today (2026-07-03–04).

What Changed Since Last Review

All new commits are merge-alignment work — the core two-part fix (TestTaskUtils.cs, LoggerUtilities.cs) and unit tests are unchanged and were previously cleared as correct.

Today's three commits (22c21d04, 91432f7, 8613480b) attempted to resolve a 3-way merge conflict in DotnetTestTests.cs caused by main independently renaming [NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource] → [TestMatrix] on all existing tests.

Finding

One blocking issue was introduced by this conflict-resolution sequence: see the inline comment.

The new acceptance test RunDotnetTestShouldRespectLoggerVerbosityFromRunSettings currently uses [TestMatrix(console: Net, testHost: Net)], but TestMatrixAttribute does not exist in this PR branch — only in main. The acceptance test project will not compile, and CI will fail.

Fix: replace [TestMatrix(console: Net, testHost: Net)] with [NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource(useDesktopRunner: false)] (same coverage, available in this branch). The test is already positioned at the end of the class — once the attribute is corrected, the auto-merge strategy for the subsequent main integration should work as intended.

Everything Else Looks Clean

Area	Verdict
`LoggerUtilities.cs` — preserve Configuration when no new config	✅ Correct
`TestTaskUtils.cs` — skip verbosity for VSTestTask + settings file, always inject for VSTestTask2	✅ Correct
Unit tests (`TestTaskUtilsTests.cs`, `EnableLoggersArgumentProcessorTests.cs`)	✅ Cover primary scenarios, assertions correct
`DotnetTestHostManager.cs` — null-safe probing-paths access	✅ Correct defensive check
Packaging / nuspec migration sync	✅ Matches `main`, no file-count or framework regressions
Sync-from-main changes (Task.CompletedTask, ManualResetEventSlim, etc.)	✅ Clean upstream picks

[Acceptance Test Coverage Design] — Compilation failure: TestMatrixAttribute not defined in this branch

[TestMatrix(console: Net, testHost: Net)] requires TestMatrixAttribute, which exists in main (test/Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestUtilities/TestMatrixAttribute.cs) but is not present in this PR branch. This will cause the acceptance test project to fail to compile.

The equivalent attribute that is available in this branch is [NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource(useDesktopRunner: false)], which the six existing tests in this file already use. Both expand to a single dotnet runner + netcoreapp TFM row, so the test coverage is identical.

[NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource(useDesktopRunner: false)]

Why this happened: The conflict-resolution commit 22c21d04 replaced all attributes with [TestMatrix] to match main's style. Commit 91432f7 then reverted the existing tests back to [NetCoreTargetFrameworkDataSource] but left the new test with [TestMatrix]. Commit 8613480b moved the test to the end of the class (setting up for clean auto-merge of main's attribute changes) but kept [TestMatrix], leaving the branch in a non-compiling state.

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.

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.
