HowTo: Open MSTest with MSBuild

According to the blogpost about „HowTo: build solutions with MSBuild“ I’m going to show you a little example about how to call MSTests.

Scenario

The structure is nearly the same like in this blogpost. As a little add-on I created a new test project:

I’ve added one more “RunTests” target to my BuildSolutions.target file where the MSBuild Script is included:

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Build">

<PropertyGroup>

<OutDir>$(MSBuildStartupDirectory)\OutDir\</OutDir>

<SolutionProperties>

OutDir=$(OutDir);

Platform=Any CPU;

Configuration=Release

</SolutionProperties>

</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>

<Solution Include="..\MsBuildSample.sln">

<Properties>

$(SolutionProperties)

</Properties>

</Solution>

</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Build">

<MSBuild Projects="@(Solution)"/>

</Target>

<Target Name="RunTests">

<Exec Command='"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"$(MSBuildStartupDirectory)\OutDir\MsBuildSample.WebApp.Tests.dll" /testcontainer:"$(MSBuildStartupDirectory)\OutDir\AnotherTestProject.dll"' />

</Target>

</Project>
