Screenshot and Log does not attach - .Net Core 2.0

[JameyRandall]

I have setup a simple project to work though moving our test automation to .Net Core 2.X and I am finding that the log file and screen shots are not showing up in the output for a failed test.

Version: 5.5.0
TargetFramework: Netcoreapp2.0
Selenium: 3.141
Chrome Driver: 76.0.3 (latest)
IE: 3.141.59
Environment: Local machine, no gird

Test:
public void VerifyAppLoads()
{
HomePageModel homePage = new HomePageModel(TestObject, true);
homePage.WaitForPageLoad();

        this.SoftAssert.IsFalse(true, "Force Fail");
        this.SoftAssert.FailTestIfAssertFailed();
    }

Appsettings.json:
{
"MagenicMaqs": {
"WaitTime": "100",
"Timeout": "10000",
"Log": "OnFail",
"LogLevel": "VERBOSE",
"LogType": "TXT",

},
"SeleniumMaqs": {

"BrowserWaitTime": "100",
"BrowserTimeout": "10000",
"BrowserSize": "MAXIMIZE",

},

}
}

This is a limitation of MSTest.
If I am not mistaken this enhancement should be become available once MSTest 2.0 get's released.
microsoft/testfx#609

Once MS releases this enhancement we will likely need to update the MAQS code, but for right now we have to wait on MS.

[JameyRandall]

If we switch to NUnit, would we maintain the test case linking functionality to Azure and be able to have the log and screenshot attachments?

[TroyWalshProf]

Nope, NUnit is actually worse from this perspective.

Out of curiosity, why are you using the core version?
*If you are just doing this so you can use the SDK style (the style supported in VS Code) you don't need to do core.

[JameyRandall]

We are looking to build long term enterprise wide solution that is cross platform. With that in mind it has been recommended that we make the move to core sooner than later. Right now there are three projects that are actively writing new automated tests, I expect the number of active automation projects increase as time goes by.

Also, .Net core falls under the Modern Lifecycle Policy, we are thinking Microsoft will continue to Core support it longer than any of the current .Net Frameworks.

[TroyWalshProf]

The short term answer is if you want screenshots you need to use Framework for now.
*My best guess is that this feature will be added to MSTest in the next major version release, but that is not a product my team owns or has any real control over.

The nice thing is that it is typically pretty easy to switch between Core and Framework using the SDK style templates.

You simple go in to the CSPROJ files and change the TargetFramework
For example you could change:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
to:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>net471</TargetFramework>

reverted to 4.7.1 for now, thanks.

[JameyRandall]

MS Test 2.0 came out this morning and it was indicated that #609 was in this release. I tried a few tests on my side using netcoreapp2.0 with today's release of MSTest on Maqs 5.5.1 and the files are still not attaching.

Could you confim if MS Test 2.0 fixed the attachment issue on your end?

There will need to be a code change in MAQS to have utilize this new functionality

Code Reference

We will put this on the TODO and validate the fix

[FermJacob]

@JameyRandall This should be fixed in the latest version of MAQS

5.5.2 - 2019/9/5
Bug fixes and minor enhancements
- Add associated files to Core MSTest test results
Package update
- Add Mongo module to the package
Template updates
- Mass dependency updates

[JameyRandall]

Updated to 5.5.2 and set targeting framework to 2.2. The log files and screen shots are now getting attached.

Thanks!
