dotnet test not creating test results folder

As part of our ASP.NET Core 2.0 build process I have added a dotnet test command which I have added as a Windows batch file.

Here is my command.

dotnet test "MyProject.csproj" --no-restore --results-directory "MyProject\TestResults" --verbosity minimal

And here is the output when run from the command line.

So it all appears to work correctly, yet no test results / test output is created.

To output the test results from dotnet test, you can try pass -xml /some/path/out.xml or use the work parameter, like this: dotnet test --work:"mypath/myresult.xml". See below threads for details:

• dotnet test - Output test results
• Is there a way to specify TestResult.xml location?

Besides, generally you need to specify the argument -l|--logger <LoggerUri/FriendlyName> which specifies a logger for test results.

e.g.:

dotnet test "myproject.csproj" --logger "trx;LogFileName=path\to\tests\folder\results.trx" or dotnet test "myproject.csproj" -l:"trx;LogFileName=path\to\tests\folder\results.trx"

To make the generated trx files available as test results in VSTS/TFS, you can use the "Publish Test Results" task:
