AceReports.MSTest 1.0.1

AceReports.MSTest

Zero-setup HTML reporting for MSTest: one self-contained file per run with logs, API traffic, screenshots, retries and flaky-test detection.

Setup

Install the package. That's all:

dotnet add package AceReports.MSTest

Requires MSTest 3.10 or later. MSTest only picks up lifecycle methods declared inside the test project, so the package adds one small, hidden file to the build: a class with a [GlobalTestInitialize] and a [GlobalTestCleanup] method that hand over to Ace Reports. Global test fixtures run in addition to your own [TestInitialize], [AssemblyInitialize] and cleanup methods — nothing of yours is replaced. The report is written when the test run finishes, to TestResults/AceReport_<timestamp>.html next to your test binaries.

To turn reporting off for a project: <EnableAceReports>false</EnableAceReports>.

Configuration

Add a class implementing IAceReportsStartup anywhere in the test project. Ace Reports finds it and calls it before the first test runs:

using AceReports;
using AceReports.Configuration;

internal sealed class AceReportsStartup : IAceReportsStartup
{
    public void Configure(AceReportsConfiguration options)
    {
        Ace.SuiteName("Smoke Suite");
        Ace.EnvironmentName("UAT");
        Ace.DarkTheme();
    }
}

What is recorded

Logging and screenshots

Ace.Info("Submitting payment");
Ace.TakeScreenshot("After login");

A screenshot is taken automatically when a test fails. MSTest does not expose the running test class instance, so hand the page or driver over once and both Ace.TakeScreenshot() and the failure screenshot use it:

Ace.UseScreenshotSource(page);   // Playwright IPage, Selenium IWebDriver, ...

Screenshots and teardown

The automatic failure screenshot is taken when Ace Reports records the test, and that happens after the framework's own teardown ([TearDown] in NUnit, [TestCleanup] in MSTest, [AfterScenario] in Reqnroll). A teardown that closes the browser therefore leaves nothing to photograph. Either let the run close the browser at the end, or take the screenshot yourself before closing:

Ace.TakeScreenshot("Final state");
await _browser.CloseAsync();
