I have to assemblies, one for the tests and the other one is the main assembly that has the methods that I want to test.
In my test assembly I have many classes, each class tests the methods of the class of the main assembly. In total, in all the classes, I have about 300 test methods, but in MyClass01Test I have only 30 test methods. I would like to run only the methods in this class and not all the tests.
I am trying to use this filter:
"-filter:+[*]*.MyMainClass -[*Tests]*"
The problem is that it runs all the tests, no only the tests in MyMainClassTest class in my test assembly. However, in the report that I get with reportgenerator, I get only the methods from MyClass01, that it is correct.
The complete command that I use is this:
"D:\programas\OpenCover\OpenCover.Console.exe" -register:user "-filter:+[*]*.MyMainClass01 -[*Tests]*" -target:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" -targetargs:"/testcontainer:\"F:\.MyAssmeblyTests.dll\"" -output:"F:\tests\resutlts.xml"
You have to tell MSTest which tests it should execute. This has nothing to do with OpenCover and ReportGenerator. They only track the execution and create a report.
