❔ Creating a github workflow to test solution (MSTest)

I have this solution https://github.com/caedenph/wa-tor I have two projects within it, the base one is the implementation of this algorithm, and the other project is within WaTorTests/. How can I link the tests in WaTorTests/ to the root project so that I can run dotnet test? For context: 
> dotnet test
MSBUILD : error MSB1011: Specify which project or solution file to use because this folder contains more than one project or solution file.
> dotnet test WaTorTests
  Determining projects to restore...
  Nothing to do. None of the projects specified contain packages to restore.
> dotnet test
MSBUILD : error MSB1011: Specify which project or solution file to use because this folder contains more than one project or solution file.
> dotnet test WaTorTests

@V.EINA Jaken Apologies for not responding earlier, started by just rewriting the code in c#. You mentioned the c# file naming conventions (for the .csproj and .sln) should be valid identifiers? What do you mean? What works better for those files, Wa-Tor or WaTor?

you can cd into the folder with github actions, or add WaTorTests to your dotnet command

Tvde1•14mo ago

Caeden
CaedenOP•14mo ago
dotnet test WaTorTests should run the 14 tests it ran nothing afaik

Tvde1•14mo ago

Caeden
CaedenOP•14mo ago

one of those is a valid name you could give to something in C# code, and one is not

CaedenOP•14mo ago
Got it Can I just rename the Wa-Tor or will this break something
JakenVeina
JakenVeina•14mo ago
what's named that, currently?
Caeden
CaedenOP•14mo ago
the .sln
JakenVeina
JakenVeina•14mo ago
renaming the file won't affect anything that won't change the solution's "name" per se but it also isn't hurting anything

CaedenOP•14mo ago
Okay I showed the dotnet test above, do you know how I can link the projects?

The dotnet cli isn't compatible with .NET Framework¹ iirc Though you could try running mstest like what a person said in on this StackOverflow post I tried to run your repo's tests using & 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe' /testcontainer:"WaTorTests.dll" but originally failed After checking a bit, removing the nuget package MSTest.TestFramework and replacing it with MicrosoftVisualStudioQualityToolsUnitTestFramework seemed to fix it (Though doing so makes testing via an IDE break) ! Please note, that the nuget package above is not actually from microsoft but rather an author called "juniho", adding unverified nuget packages can lead to malware being executed. that being said, the nuget package has 500k downloads and has been up since 2020, its likely not that. Anyways, this is the CLI Output after changing to the new nuget package: 
& 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe' /testcontainer:"WaTorTests.dll"

The following StackOverflow post shows how you can run mstest.exe through github actions for your workflow. Alternate options i've found is downloading visual studio build tools and using their vstest which too has their own respective github actions workflow
