Labcoat.TestingPlatform (preview)

A Microsoft.Testing.Platform extension that adds a --labcoat option to your test application: it opens Labcoat, a web UI for Microsoft.Testing.Platform tests, for this test project instead of running the tests.

dotnet add MyApp.Tests package Labcoat.TestingPlatform
dotnet run --project MyApp.Tests -- --labcoat
dotnet run --project MyApp.Tests -- --labcoat watch port=5000   # Labcoat options, without the dashes

The runner is bundled in the package (started from the NuGet cache; nothing is copied to bin/), so there's no tool to install. It needs the .NET 10 runtime, whatever your test project targets.

  • Registration: automatic through the TestingPlatformBuilderHook MSBuild item. With a hand-written entry point, call builder.AddLabcoat().
  • No recursion: the option is inert in server mode (--server: Labcoat itself, IDE test explorers, dotnet test) and when LABCOAT_TEST_HOST is set (Labcoat sets it on every test host it starts).
  • Lifetime: the test process starts Labcoat, waits for it (Ctrl+C stops both) and exits with Labcoat's exit code. No tests run in that process.
  • Which runner: $LABCOAT_PATH (a Labcoat.dll or labcoat executable) > the bundled runner (MSBuild property LabcoatPath) > dotnet tool exec Labcoat@<version>.

AOT-compatible: the extension works in Native AOT test apps (it finds dotnet for the runner without the runtime's install path there).

Requires Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.x (MSTest 4, xUnit v3 3.x, NUnit 4.4+, TUnit). See docs/standalone.md for the design and its limits.
