I am using the latest VS2017 version 15.6.4, NUnit3TestAdapter 3.10.0 and Nunit version 3.9.0.0.
When I try to run a unit test in Test Explorer the test are grayed out, when I right click and and run selected tests I see the following error: No test is available
Here is how my test class looks
[TestFixture]
public partial class ListViewBOTest
{
[Test]
public void TestSearch_DateTime()
{
Assert.AreEqual(1,0);
}
}

Make sure you have installed the NUnit3 Test Adapter from here
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NUnitDevelopers.NUnit3TestAdapter
Can you check the following steps and see if it works?
In the Visual Studio menu, go to Test > Test Settings > Default Processor Architecture and make a note if X86 is selected or X64
Now go to the Build section in the Properties window of the project where the tests are written. Make sure the Platform target drop-down is selected to either Any CPU or at least it matches the architecture from the above step 1.
Now if you build the solution and try running those tests, you should see that they are now running.
I had the same problem as Amete Blessed and commenting out other Test methods made Test Explorer work and run my test
I found that my Build Events were wrong. Invalid copy command blew all my tests and half a day:
Copy C:\repo\Architecture\*.json $(ProjectPath)/Y
Copy C:\repo\Architecture\*.json $(TargetPath) /Y
instead of
Copy C:\repo\Architecture\*.json $(ProjectDir)/Y
Copy C:\repo\Architecture\*.json $(TargetDir) /Y
The messages in the Test Output window ("NUnit failed to load [assembly]", "No test is available...", etc.) can hide the underlying issue that's causing the runner to not load the test assembly. This includes hiding failures to load dependencies of the test assembly or the item under test.
If there's a test assembly that's showing up in the Test Explorer window, but the tests refuse to run, it's worth temporarily enabling fusion logging to see if any assembly binding errors occur when trying to run the tests.
After installing NUnit through nuget tests have appeared into Test Explorer
but when I ran them I got "No test is available".
Installing NUnit Test Adapter fixed the issue.
I had similar problem when using Xamarin.Forms.
The solution was to install NUnit.XForms from NuGet and add
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="15.3.0" />
to csproj file of the project where the tests are.
What worked for me was to delete the ComponentModelCache folder located at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>
You may have been a casualty of this problem that was (theoretically) resolved in 15.6.3. According to this answer, try deleting your %temp%\VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions folder. That has resolved the issue for some other users.
Rather than using the Test Explorer, can you right click on the solution and Run Unit Tests from there?
Had the same problem. In my case I found that the NUnit test adapter will not be used by Test Explorer if your test project contains a reference to MSTest. Typically the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestFramework.dll but also check your .csproj file for "MSTest" and your packages.config file.
I discovered this by first enabling diagnostic logging for Visual Studio tests. This is found under "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Tests" -> "Logging Level".
In my log I found this entry:
[22/11/2018 10:36:42 Diagnostic] Project C:\Git\myProject\src\myProject.Tests\myProject.Tests.csproj references test adapter: MSTest.TestAdapter, version 1.1.18
This is caused due to memory problem.
Clean object after test execution
Sample Code
private TestController testController;
[OneTimeSetUp]
public void TestSetup()
{
testController= new TestController();
}
[OneTimeTearDown]
public void TestCleanup()
{
testController= null;
}
Change test execution to 64 bits in settings
Test -> Test Settings -> Default Processors Architecture -> x64.
I have also encountered the same issue.
Steps to resolve this issue -
1. Install/Reinstall NUnit3TestAdapter package
2. Delete Debug folder from the Bin
3. Clean --> Build the project
Note - Also ensure all the packages are installed properly.
Now try to execute the tests.
I had the same issue, but it was fixed after installing "NUnit 3 TestAdapter version 3.16.1" via NuGet to my project.

I am working on a Solidworks add-in for running integration tests within Solidworks; upgrading from net48 to net5.
I am handling AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve to locate my test assembly:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += runner.ResolveAssembly
So far so good. Unfortunately, attempting to discover tests:
using var runner = AssemblyRunner.WithoutAppDomain(_assemblyPath);
runner.OnDiscoveryComplete = info => _log($"{Environment.Version} Discovered {info.TestCasesDiscovered} test cases.");
Returns 0 tests, and an error in the test output window:
========== Starting test discovery ==========
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.ObjectModel.TestPlatformException: Unable to find C:\Users\jon\source\repos\SWCustomPropertyTest\SWCustomPropertyTest\bin\Debug\net5.0-windows\testhost.dll. Please publish your test project and retry.

========== Test discovery aborted: 0 Tests found in 9.7 ms ==========
This makes sense; testhost.dll doesn't exist in my output because I don't have a reference to Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk in my project. However, when I add a reference to Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk and rebuild, the output folder no longer contains a .comhost.dll to register.
I tried simply copying testhost.dll to my output folder but when I did this and tried to execute my code again the output window stayed blank and debug output indicated that I had discovered 0 tests.
Are <EnableComHosting>true</EnableComHosting> and Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk mutually exclusive? Is there a way to discover and execute a unit test from within a COM add-in, in .NET 5?
I'm writing some unit tests with MSTest, using C#, MSVS 2015 and .Net 4.6.1.
This line:
Assert.ThrowsException<ArgumentOutOfRangeException>( () =>
select.AllSelectedOptions[0]
);
Fails with this compile error:
CS0117 'Assert' does not contain a definition for 'ThrowsException'
My namespace is Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting (the default when you create a unit test project in MSVS).
According to the documentation, Assert.ThrowsException(Action) should exist. But I don't see it in Intellisense ... and I'm getting the compile error.
I've tried a couple of different versions of MSVS (MSVS 2015 and MSVS 2019) and a couple of different versions of MSTest.
Q: Any ideas what might be wrong?
As Clint said below, I need to install MSTest v2 from NuGet in order to use Assert.ThrowsException<T>() in MSVS 2015.
But after doing this, MSVS isn't finding any of my tests anymore:
MSVS > Test > Run All (or "Test > Debug > All Tests"):
------ Discover test started ------
========== Discover test finished: 0 found (0:00:01.127375) ==========
Any suggestions?
You need to use [MSTest V2] to be able to Assert.ThrowsException
Starting with VS2017, the in-box Unit Test Project templates use only MSTest V2.
Now that you're on VS2015 you can install this package MSTest.Test from Nuget but make sure to remove the old test references like Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework before upgrading to this package
Add > New Test project > Select MSTest project type
After this you should be able to use Assert.ThrowsException<ArgumentOutOfRangeException>(
To discover and execute tests also ensure to install MSTest.TestAdapter.

I've been running Selenium tests in Visual Studio using C# and everything works fine locally. I have an automated build process in TFS that runs unit tests in my solution. That task (Test Assemblies) is finding the new Selenium tests but failing to run them. However, when I created a separate build definition that deployed a test agent (successfully) and then attempts to run functional tests, I get this message:
2017-11-03T18:49:43.1345753Z ##[warning]DistributedTests: Test Run Discovery Aborted . Test run id : 1600
2017-11-03T18:49:43.1345753Z ##[warning]DistributedTests: UnExpected error occured during test execution. Try again.
2017-11-03T18:49:43.1345753Z ##[warning]DistributedTests: Error : No tests were discovered from the specified test sources
I have searched the DTALog, and found that the test sources are being found successfully, just no actual tests within them. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I have removed the 'Owner' decoration from the tests.
Please try below things to narrow down the issue:
Make sure the appropriate test adapter getting deployed along with
the test assemblies as Daniel mentioned.
If not deployed, you would need to copy the appropriate adapter from your local vs machine (\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions) to your test agent box (\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions\Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Extensions)
Try run directly from vstest.console.exe on test agent machine with
specifing test adapter path using /testadapterpath flag and see if
vstest.console works.
eg:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe "F:\Test****TestAutomation.dll" /TestAdapterPath:F:\Test*\
Check if you have included the dependencies with the test dlls.
eg: manually add reference of Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework in the test project.
If the isse persist, please share the logs for furthre troubleshoot.
I've created a new project containing only a basic unit test. But no matter what I do, VS simply doesn't run the test. I presume it doesn't find it.
namespace UnitTestProject1
{
[TestClass]
public class UnitTest1
{
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
Debug.WriteLine("qwerty");
Assert.AreEqual(1, 2);
throw new Exception("Kaboom!");
}
}
}
Being so simple, no dependencies are needed.
Most of the time when building (using "Run All" in Test Explorer, main menu under "Build", main menu under "Test") VS says the project built fine, but says nothing more.
But if I first clean the project then do "Run All" in Test Explorer, then VS gives this...
------ Discover test started ------
Could not load file or assembly 'file:///Z:\Dev\x\Xer\UnitTestProject1\bin\Debug\UnitTestProject1.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)
========== Discover test finished: 0 found (0:00:00.149) ==========
...but the .dll does exist in that location. ("Run All" builds it.)
I've cleared caches according to:
Visual Studio 2015 does not discover unit tests
Using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015, Update 3.
I'm at a complete loss. What am I missing?
Take a look at the following link:
Could not load file or assembly Operation is not supported.
It looks like you need to add the <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true" /> tag under the runtime tag in your project config.
I am trying to run this unit test using Microsoft Shims, but it throws me exception in Shims.Context.Create(); method.
Environment: VS 2012, Win2K8 R2
namespace MyShimsUnitTest
{
[TestClass]
public class MyUnitTest
{
[TestMethod]
public void GetCurrentYear()
{
using (Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.ShimsContext.Create())
{
// Some Logic...
}
}
}
}
Detailed Exception:
Result Message:
Test method MyShimsUnitTest.MyUnitTest.GetCurrentYear threw exception:
Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.UnitTestIsolation.UnitTestIsolationException: UnitTestIsolation instrumentation failed to initialize. Please restart Visual Studio and rerun this test
Result StackTrace:
at Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.UnitTestIsolation.UnitTestIsolationRuntime.InitializeUnitTestIsolationInstrumentationProvider()
at Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.Shims.ShimRuntime.CreateContext()
at Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.ShimsContext.Create()
at MyShimsUnitTest.MyUnitTest.GetCurrentYear()
Shims require runtime instrumentation performed by the IntelliTrace profiler. The test runner is responsible for setting up the environment variables required for CLR to load the profiler as well as providing the list of types the profiler must instrument for Shims. The UnitTestIsolationException is thrown when the ShimRuntime is unable to locate and attach to the IntelliTrace profiler, which it expects to be already loaded by the CLR.
As Jin-Wook mentioned earlier, this problem occurs when the test is executed by a runner that does not perform the required profiler initialization. Test Explorer and the vstest.console.exe are two such runners that ship with Visual Studio 2012. At this time, the Visual Studio test runners do not perform the required profiler instrumentation when running tests in "legacy" mode, which happens when you have a .TESTSETTINGS file selected for your run or a .RUNSETTINGS file that forces legacy mode.
You may be able to use third-party test runners that support profiler instrumentation required by Shims.
I had the same issue. The solution to my problem was to uncheck the selected .testsettings file from the menu: TEST/Test Settings and here the item(s) above the Select Test Settings File.
It could be caused by not using the test explorer of vs 2012. To use the shim, you should run tests only using the test explorer.
You can use other test framework such as Nunit or Xunit with the shim if installing appropriate test runner for vs 2012. It can be downloaded from the vs extension manager.
I ran into this issue too. Thankfully the other answers here helped me fix my issue:
I'm using Resharper and when using the context menu I noticed that the runner is using MSTest. Even when finding the test in test explorer and selecting debug I received the same exception.
I then went into Resharpers's options and under Tools -> Unit Testing -> MsTest I unchecked "Enable MSTest support". This unfortunately disables the option to right click on your test and hit run/debug, but it did allow ShimsContext.Create() to behave correctly when selecting debug from the Test Explorer view!
Go to your TestProject Properties -> Under Debug section Check the "ENABLE NATIVE CODE DEBUGGING" checkbox.
This is should do.
We saw this error reported by Bamboo, our build server. It was invoking an MSbuild 4.0 task. The unit test work fine on the dev's local PCs. I deleted this bamboo task and created a new task that invokes Visual Studio 2012's vstest.console. The tests now pass but Bamboo is not able to count the number of tests. This is a Bamboo problem not mine.
