Integrate Silverlight Unit Testing with Visual Studio 2008 Test Results Panel?

Question

I would like to run my Silverlight Unit Tests from Visual Studio instead of opening a new instance of my Silverlight Test App in the browser.

Apparently it is possible (http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/09/rc0-new-test-features/ - search for "Visual Studio Team Test log provider output")....but I don't understand how you enable this, does anyone know how?

Would be great if these tests would run from the "Run All Tests in Solution" button (Ctrl+R, A).

Thanks, Ash.

Answer 1

The blog post you referenced clearly states that this is output only and does not integrate Silverlight UT with Visual Studio Team Testing System. It will simply output into a TRX format that can then be opened in that window within Visual Studio. You still cannot run your Silverlight tests from a vsmdi, you will need to run them from within the web browser test harness.

I agree it would be great if the tests would run from the "Run All Tests in Solution" button, but that is not possible with the current tools today.

Answer 2

I have written a blog post about how to get the Silverlight Testing Framework to output the Visual Studio "TestResults.trx" log files. I couldn't find anything about how to do this anywhere else.
