Extract shared report-provider registration helper (#9131)

[Amaury Levé (Evangelink)]

Fixes#9131.

Follow-up to #9134, which fixed the missing TestApplicationBuilder guard in CtrfReportExtensions but left the structural duplication (recommendation #2) unaddressed.

This extracts the repeated CompositeExtensionFactory construction, the TestApplicationBuilder guard, and the data-consumer / test-session-lifetime / command-line registration block — shared by the CTRF, JUnit, and HTML report extensions — into a new ReportProviderRegistration.AddReportProvider helper in SharedExtensionHelpers.

Each Add*ReportProvider method is now a single expression-bodied call that supplies only the generator factory and the per-extension resource strings. Behavior is unchanged (same guard, same registration order).

Validation

• dotnet build of all three report extension projects: 0 warnings, 0 errors
• Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.UnitTests (net8.0): all passed

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the CTRF/JUnit/HTML report extensions in Microsoft.Testing.Platform to remove duplicated registration boilerplate by extracting the shared “guard + composite factory + registrations” logic into a single helper in SharedExtensionHelpers.

Changes:

• Introduces ReportProviderRegistration.AddReportProvider<TGenerator> to centralize the TestApplicationBuilder guard and the standard registration sequence.
• Updates CTRF/JUnit/HTML Add*ReportProvider extension methods to delegate to the shared helper.
• Links the new shared helper into each of the three report extension projects.

Review Summary — PR #9152: Extract shared report-provider registration helper

Verdict: ✅ No blocking or major issues found. LGTM with one minor observation.

This is a clean, well-scoped refactoring that faithfully extracts the repeated CompositeExtensionFactory construction, TestApplicationBuilder guard, and three-call registration block from the CTRF, JUnit, and HTML extension methods into a single generic helper. Behavior is identical to the code it replaces.

22-Dimension Analysis

#	Dimension	Status	Notes
1	Algorithmic Correctness	✅	Guard, factory, and registration order are all preserved exactly
2	Threading & Concurrency	N/A	Configuration-time only; no concurrency
3	Memory & Resource Management	✅	No new disposables or allocations beyond the pre-existing lambda capture
4	Public API Surface	✅	ReportProviderRegistration is internal; all three public extension-method signatures are unchanged
5	Backward Compatibility	✅	No public API changes
6	Security & Trust Boundaries	N/A	No security-sensitive paths
7	Performance & Allocation	✅	commandLine is still instantiated eagerly at the call site and captured in a single lambda — semantically identical to the old local-variable pattern
8	Error Handling & Resilience	✅	InvalidOperationException guard is preserved; consistent with codebase style of not adding null-argument guards for internal helpers
9	Naming & Readability	✅	ReportProviderRegistration, AddReportProvider<TGenerator>, and invalidBuilderTypeErrorMessage are clear
10	Code Duplication	✅	This is exactly what the PR addresses — three near-identical blocks collapsed into one
11	Test Coverage	i️	No new unit tests for ReportProviderRegistration itself (guard path). This was a pre-existing gap; no regression introduced. The three Add*ReportProvider calls in the unit-test Program.cs exercise the happy path.
12	Documentation & XML Comments	i️	See inline comment — <see cref="TestApplicationBuilder"/> references an internal type. Works at compile time, minor cosmetic concern only.
13	Cross-TFM Correctness	✅	No TFM-conditional code; targets netstandard2.0 + net frameworks consistently
14	Localization & Resource Strings	✅	No new strings; existing ExtensionResources.InvalidTestApplicationBuilderType is passed through unchanged
15	MSBuild / Project File Quality	✅	<Compile Include> is inserted at the same relative position in all three .csproj files, consistent with the existing Link="Helpers\*.cs" pattern
16	Dependency Management	✅	No new package references
17	Pattern Consistency	✅	TrxReport and AzureDevOps have extra registrations (tools, OS-conditional branches, multiple composites) that correctly remain unreduced
18	Scope Discipline	✅	Strictly limited to the structural deduplication described in the PR
19	TODO Policy	✅	No TODOs introduced
20	Assertion Quality (tests)	N/A	No new tests
21	License Headers	✅	New file has correct Microsoft copyright header

One Pre-existing Gap (not introduced by this PR)

The builder is not TestApplicationBuilder guard is not unit-tested for any of the three affected extensions, either before or after this change. The refactoring is a good opportunity to track this as a follow-up: a single ReportProviderRegistrationTests class could cover the guard once (passing a mock ITestApplicationBuilder that is not a TestApplicationBuilder) rather than requiring three separate tests. Consider filing a tracking issue if desired.

---

Overall: The abstraction is well-designed, the generic constraint where TGenerator : class, IDataConsumer, ITestSessionLifetimeHandler is exactly right, and the InternalsVisibleTo grants that make TestApplicationBuilder accessible in all three consumer assemblies are already in place. No changes required.

One Pre-existing Gap (not introduced by this PR)

The builder is not TestApplicationBuilder guard is not unit-tested for any of the three affected extensions, either before or after this change. The refactoring is a good opportunity to track this as a follow-up: a single ReportProviderRegistrationTests class could cover the guard once (passing a mock ITestApplicationBuilder that is not a TestApplicationBuilder) rather than requiring three separate tests. Consider filing a tracking issue if desired.

---

Overall: The abstraction is well-designed, the generic constraint where TGenerator : class, IDataConsumer, ITestSessionLifetimeHandler is exactly right, and the InternalsVisibleTo grants that make TestApplicationBuilder accessible in all three consumer assemblies are already in place. No changes required.

Fixes#9131.

Follow-up to #9134, which fixed the missing TestApplicationBuilder guard in CtrfReportExtensions but left the structural duplication (recommendation #2) unaddressed.

This extracts the repeated CompositeExtensionFactory construction, the TestApplicationBuilder guard, and the data-consumer / test-session-lifetime / command-line registration block — shared by the CTRF, JUnit, and HTML report extensions — into a new ReportProviderRegistration.AddReportProvider helper in SharedExtensionHelpers.

Each Add*ReportProvider method is now a single expression-bodied call that supplies only the generator factory and the per-extension resource strings. Behavior is unchanged (same guard, same registration order).

Validation

• dotnet build of all three report extension projects: 0 warnings, 0 errors
• Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.UnitTests (net8.0): all passed

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the CTRF/JUnit/HTML report extensions in Microsoft.Testing.Platform to remove duplicated registration boilerplate by extracting the shared “guard + composite factory + registrations” logic into a single helper in SharedExtensionHelpers.

Changes:

• Introduces ReportProviderRegistration.AddReportProvider<TGenerator> to centralize the TestApplicationBuilder guard and the standard registration sequence.
• Updates CTRF/JUnit/HTML Add*ReportProvider extension methods to delegate to the shared helper.
• Links the new shared helper into each of the three report extension projects.

Review Summary — PR #9152: Extract shared report-provider registration helper

Verdict: ✅ No blocking or major issues found. LGTM with one minor observation.

This is a clean, well-scoped refactoring that faithfully extracts the repeated CompositeExtensionFactory construction, TestApplicationBuilder guard, and three-call registration block from the CTRF, JUnit, and HTML extension methods into a single generic helper. Behavior is identical to the code it replaces.

22-Dimension Analysis

#	Dimension	Status	Notes
1	Algorithmic Correctness	✅	Guard, factory, and registration order are all preserved exactly
2	Threading & Concurrency	N/A	Configuration-time only; no concurrency
3	Memory & Resource Management	✅	No new disposables or allocations beyond the pre-existing lambda capture
4	Public API Surface	✅	ReportProviderRegistration is internal; all three public extension-method signatures are unchanged
5	Backward Compatibility	✅	No public API changes
6	Security & Trust Boundaries	N/A	No security-sensitive paths
7	Performance & Allocation	✅	commandLine is still instantiated eagerly at the call site and captured in a single lambda — semantically identical to the old local-variable pattern
8	Error Handling & Resilience	✅	InvalidOperationException guard is preserved; consistent with codebase style of not adding null-argument guards for internal helpers
9	Naming & Readability	✅	ReportProviderRegistration, AddReportProvider<TGenerator>, and invalidBuilderTypeErrorMessage are clear
10	Code Duplication	✅	This is exactly what the PR addresses — three near-identical blocks collapsed into one
11	Test Coverage	i️	No new unit tests for ReportProviderRegistration itself (guard path). This was a pre-existing gap; no regression introduced. The three Add*ReportProvider calls in the unit-test Program.cs exercise the happy path.
12	Documentation & XML Comments	i️	See inline comment — <see cref="TestApplicationBuilder"/> references an internal type. Works at compile time, minor cosmetic concern only.
13	Cross-TFM Correctness	✅	No TFM-conditional code; targets netstandard2.0 + net frameworks consistently
14	Localization & Resource Strings	✅	No new strings; existing ExtensionResources.InvalidTestApplicationBuilderType is passed through unchanged
15	MSBuild / Project File Quality	✅	<Compile Include> is inserted at the same relative position in all three .csproj files, consistent with the existing Link="Helpers\*.cs" pattern
16	Dependency Management	✅	No new package references
17	Pattern Consistency	✅	TrxReport and AzureDevOps have extra registrations (tools, OS-conditional branches, multiple composites) that correctly remain unreduced
18	Scope Discipline	✅	Strictly limited to the structural deduplication described in the PR
19	TODO Policy	✅	No TODOs introduced
20	Assertion Quality (tests)	N/A	No new tests
