v2.2.0-beta1

• Support for .NET Core Test Projects (Visual Studio IDE, dotnet test and vstest.console). NOTE: Line numbers for tests are not working currently for .NET Core targets.

v2.1.0

• Support for nested "and" style tests (thanks to molszews)
• Fix error when trying to run tests for an assembly that doesn't reference mspec (thanks to alnixon)
• The mspec dependency version has been relaxed - was < 0.10 and now is < 1.0.0, which means that you can now use MSpec 0.11

2.0.0

Get it

Visual Studio Plugin: attached below
NuGet Package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Machine.Specifications.Runner.VisualStudio/2.0.0

What's new and improved

This is a significant update to the Test Adapter:

• New test discovery engine built directly on top of MSpec replaces old Mono.Cecil based one:
  • Full support for [Behavior] and Behaves_like<> and everything MSpec
  • Full support for assembly binding (.config) during test discovery (and execution)
• Greatly improved support for Visual Studio Team Services, TFS,etc (works out of the box with the NuGet package)
  • Major performance improvements when running whole test assemblies
  • Much clearer test result output
  • Fully compatible with VS parallel assembly execution (enabled through MaxCpuCount set to 0 in *.runsettings )
• Inner exceptions are now displayed in failed test results
• Tests in Visual Studio IDE are now displayed as English text

New

• Full support for [Behavior] and Behaves_like<>
• The test discovery engine has been rewritten to use Machine.Specification for test discovery (rather than custom discovery engine using Mono.Cecil), which means full support for all scenarios and also resolves issues around assembly binding configuration in *.dll.config files.
• Major performance improvement when running tests in CI
• The test execution pipeline should now work when running tests in parallel.

Fixed

• Inner exceptions not being displayed on test failure
