Filter in DotNetCoreCLI task is not working properly

I have a strange problem with DotNetCoreCLI@2 task. I am trying to add filter in the arguments, so only specific tests can run. I am using xUnit and Trait attribute for the goal.

[Trait("Category", "UnitTest")]

Task:

task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
          displayName: Run unit tests
          inputs:
            command: test
            projects: '**/*.Tests.csproj'
            publishTestResults: true
            arguments: >-
              -c $(buildConfiguration)
              --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
              -- DataCollectionRunSettings.DataCollectors.DataCollector.Configuration.Format=cobertura
              --filter Category=UnitTest

But when I change/rename the attribute name, its still find and run the tests. Example:

[Trait("Category", "NotUnitTest")]

When I run dotnet test command localy, the filtration works. And when I change/rename the atribute, no test is run (as expected).

dotnet test --filter Category=UnitTest

Any ideas ?

Solution

  • Try to use quotation marks. --filter "Category=UnitTest"
