How can I test my Linux Containerized ASP.NET Core app using NUnit in Visual Studio?

I have an ASP.NET core app that runs in Docker on Linux containers and I need to write unit tests for it.

I cannot compile and run the tests on Windows because the app requires a DLL compiled from C++ that only runs in Linux.

Is there a way to run my NUnit tests in a Linux container from Visual Studio?

Solution

  • You can use a "remote testing environment" to run the tests in WSL or a Linux container: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/remote-testing?view=vs-2022
