Migrate Test Project to Native Microsoft.Testing.Platform - #447
Conversation
The .NET 10 SDK dropped the VSTest bridge that dotnet test relied on, so dotnet test failed outright: 'Testing with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform on .NET 10 SDK and later.' Opt UtilitiesTests into native MTP (global.json test.runner, the UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner project property) and swap coverlet.collector, a VSTest-only collector, for the native Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage provider. Bump Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk and the xunit.v3 family to the versions that ship a compatible Microsoft.Testing.Platform runtime; the prior xunit.v3 3.2.2 pairing threw a TypeLoadException against the newer platform assembly. Update the validate workflow's dotnet test invocation to match (--coverage instead of --collect), naming the output file explicitly: the extension's default GUID basename is not matched by codecov-action's file finder, so the upload step would otherwise silently find nothing under fail_ci_if_error: false. Also fixes three ExtensionsTests.cs null-argument tests that were missing the null-forgiving operator its sibling test already used; TreatWarningsAsErrors never reached these under the old VSTest error, which aborted the build before compiling the test project.

🟢 Approval recommended
The changes align with the stated .NET 10 migration goal and appear internally consistent, with only a small optional packaging hygiene suggestion noted.
Pull request overview
Migrates UtilitiesTests to run under native Microsoft.Testing.Platform on .NET 10, updating coverage collection and CI invocation so dotnet test works again with the .NET 10 SDK changes.
Changes:
- Opt
UtilitiesTestsinto Microsoft.Testing.Platform viaglobal.jsonand test-project settings (UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner,OutputType=Exe). - Replace VSTest-based coverage collection (
coverlet.collector) withMicrosoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage, and update CI to usedotnet test --coveragewith an explicit Cobertura output name. - Update relevant test/tooling package versions and fix nullable warnings in null-argument tests.
File summaries
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| UtilitiesTests/UtilitiesTests.csproj | Switch test execution to native MTP and swap coverage collector package. |
| UtilitiesTests/ExtensionsTests.cs | Add null-forgiving operator in null-argument tests to satisfy nullable analysis. |
| Utilities.slnx | Add global.json to Solution Items for discoverability. |
| global.json | Configure dotnet test runner as Microsoft.Testing.Platform. |
| Directory.Packages.props | Bump test-related package versions and replace coverlet collector version entry with MTP coverage extension. |
| .github/workflows/validate-task.yml | Update CI dotnet test command to use MTP coverage flags and a stable Cobertura filename for Codecov upload. |

🟢 Approval recommended
The MTP migration is coherent across project config, package versions, and CI invocation, and the diffs show no remaining inconsistencies or broken references.

Matches the PrivateAssets treatment already used for coverlet.collector and xunit.analyzers, per Copilot review on PR #447. IncludeAssets keeps 'compile', unlike coverlet.collector: the MTP self-registration code generated for the test project references this extension's types directly, so excluding compile assets breaks the build.

🟢 Approval recommended
The migration is self-contained, aligns with the PR’s stated failure mode on .NET 10, and updates both dependencies and CI invocation consistently.

## Why Same regression as #447, on `main` this time (per `.github/dependabot.yml`, `main` and `develop` are kept current independently). The .NET 10 SDK dropped the VSTest bridge `dotnet test` relied on, so `dotnet test` failed outright: `Testing with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform on .NET 10 SDK and later.` This is what was blocking #443 and #444 (both currently fail on the `Run unit tests job`). ## What Identical fix to #447, cherry-picked (the relevant files were byte-identical between `main` and `develop` before this PR): - Opt `UtilitiesTests` into native Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) via `global.json`'s `test.runner` setting plus `UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner`/`OutputType=Exe`. - Swap `coverlet.collector` (VSTest-only) for `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` (native MTP coverage), marked test-only via `PrivateAssets`. - Bump `Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk`/`xunit.v3`/`xunit.analyzers`/`xunit.runner.visualstudio` to versions with a compatible MTP runtime. - Update the validate workflow's `dotnet test` invocation (`--coverage` instead of `--collect`, with an explicit `--coverage-output` filename codecov-action can discover). - Fix three `ExtensionsTests.cs` null-argument tests missing a null-forgiving operator. - `global.json` in CRLF (this repo's `.editorconfig` convention) and added to Solution Items. ## Verification Already went through #447's full review loop (local adversarial review, Copilot, CodeRabbit, all findings fixed) on identical content. Re-verified independently on this branch: `dotnet build` (0 warnings/errors), `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --coverage-output coverage.cobertura.xml --results-directory ./coverage` (183/183 passed), `dotnet csharpier check .`, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes`, and `editorconfig-checker` on `global.json` all clean. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Tests** * Updated automated test execution with a modern test runner for more reliable validation. * Added improved code coverage collection and Cobertura report generation for clearer quality metrics. * Updated testing tools and frameworks to newer versions. * Preserved existing compression test behavior while improving nullable-value handling during test execution. * **Chores** * Added centralized configuration for consistent test tooling across the solution. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Promotes the hub resync (#451) to `main`. ## Why this is a `promote/` branch rather than `develop` itself `main` carried its own copies of work `develop` had done independently: the Microsoft.Testing.Platform migration (#448 against #447) and an AwesomeAssertions bump (#450 against #449). Combined with the CRLF-to-LF renormalization, `develop -> main` conflicts on seven paths, and `develop`'s `required_linear_history` plus its PR ruleset forbid resolving them on `develop`. This is the documented remedy: resolve on a throwaway branch off `main`, then open that into `main`. ## The resolution is provably exactly `develop` Every conflict was resolved to `develop`'s side, and the result is byte-identical to `develop`'s tree: ```text merged tree 5035943 develop tree 5035943 ``` Each was confirmed lossless before `develop` was taken, per the documented check: | Path | Why taking `develop` drops nothing | | --- | --- | | `global.json` | Content-identical modulo EOL. `main` added it CRLF, `develop` renormalized it. | | `UtilitiesTests/UtilitiesTests.csproj` | Content-identical modulo EOL. | | `UtilitiesTests/ExtensionsTests.cs` | Content-identical modulo EOL. | | `Directory.Packages.props` | Differs in one line, the coverage extension, where `develop` is the newer 18.10.0 against `main`'s 18.9.0. | | `Utilities.slnx` | `main`'s extra entries are a duplicate `dependabot.yml`, a `Data/` folder naming three files this repository does not contain, and the two workflow tasks `develop` deleted because the hub now hosts them. Verified each path is absent on `develop`, and that `dependabot.yml` is still listed there under GitHub Actions. | | `.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml` | Deleted on `develop` per its `retire` disposition. | | `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml` | Deleted on `develop`, which now calls the hub-hosted validator by pin. | ## Verification Run against this branch's tree, not inferred from #451: ```text dotnet build 0 warnings, 0 errors dotnet csharpier check . 43 files, clean dotnet format style --verify-no-changes clean dotnet test (MTP + coverage) 183/183 passed markdownlint-cli2 '**/*.md' 48 files, 0 issues actionlint clean editorconfig-checker clean repo_gate.py eol, eol-coverage, sha-pin all clean prose_lint.py --diff origin/main clean ``` ## Merging The head is `promote/develop-to-main`, not `develop`, so the delete-`develop` trap does not apply here. Merge with a merge commit rather than a squash, per the `main` ruleset. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added a `StringHistory` utility for retaining and rendering configurable first and last lines. - Added comprehensive repository architecture, operations, governance, and contribution guidance. - **CI/CD** - Updated validation, testing, and publishing workflows with clearer triggers, scoped permissions, and external workflow integration. - Removed obsolete release and validation workflow definitions. - **Documentation** - Added coding, testing, review, release, and workflow guidance. - **Style** - Standardized text line endings and formatting across the repository. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

CI runs onubuntu-latest(x64) and is unaffected, but coverage collection won't work locally on Apple Silicon or Linux arm64 dev machines, wherecoverlet.collectorhad none of that restriction. Flagging for awareness rather than blocking on it, since this is the officially recommended MTP coverage path.Summary by CodeRabbit
