Summary

Replace test-summary/action with Microsoft.Testing.Platform GitHub reporting across the existing unit-test matrix. Each project now contributes a summary on passing and failing runs; failures include the test name, message and source-linked annotation. GitVersion.BuildAgents.Tests participates in the same shared reporting path as the other test projects. The final diff contains no separate pilot job or target; no Azure DevOps functionality is removed.

Cake UnitTest builds each selected project with preserved source paths, resolves its assembly through MSBuild, and executes MTP directly. This preserves annotation commands that SDK 10.0.401 suppressed in the tested dotnet test path. Process failures are collected so later projects run, and the target fails at the end. Build/start failures propagate with a workflow fallback explaining incomplete execution.

Fixes #5220. SonarCloud ingestion (#5221) and new-cli/Docker/artifact reporting remain separate.

Behavior

  • Shared private reporter registration uses stable GitHub reporter 2.4.1 with MTP 2.4.1, NUnit adapter 6.3.0 and NUnit 4.6.1. Reporting flags activate only on GitHub Actions.
  • One attempt per test job replaces automatic whole-suite retries, avoiding stale failure annotations. Manual workflow reruns remain available.
  • Preserve NUnit, JUnit, Coverlet's GitVersion exclusions, the OS/framework/backend matrix, and existing Codecov formats. JUnit test results upload after test failures unless cancelled, subject to the existing publishing and framework gates; coverage publishing remains success-only.
  • Exclude the already-loaded Spekt JUnit logger from coverage instrumentation to avoid Windows file locks. A passing test process without JUnit or Cobertura fails the Cake target, preventing silent loss of reports.
  • Partition results by backend, workflow attempt, project and framework. Always upload available results, coverage, logs and exact summary Markdown with seven-day retention. Bash pipefail preserves failure through log capture; logs survive Cake's clean step.

Validation

The historical runs below preserve the passing and deliberate-failure evidence. After history cleanup and the CodeRabbit upload-condition fix, checks on the current PR head are authoritative for merge readiness.

  • Previously validated CI, head 21f05fc0cb7e3a2504a90d0b19a50b31a47da80d: all six test jobs pass. SonarCloud quality gate, formatting, actionlint, CodeQL and linear-history checks pass. Windows/managed required a manual rerun after the existing localhost-port-sensitive test failed on attempt 1; attempt 2 passed on the same commit.
  • Full local Cake execution: 37,693 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, with seven JUnit and seven coverage reports. Build completed with zero warnings/errors. CodeRabbit implementation and follow-up reviews reported zero findings.
  • Hosted artifacts confirm seven per-project summaries and retained JUnit/Cobertura. Windows coverage is now present; Unix valid-line counts are unchanged by the logger exclusion. The reporter is absent from production project assets.
  • Hosted negative proof: parameterized failures produced source-linked annotations and skip warnings; all seven projects retained summaries/reports after test failures. A deliberate host exit was labelled incomplete (MTP exit 7); subsequent projects ran, the fallback appeared and available evidence uploaded.
  • Earlier side-by-side comparison shows the old generic process annotations versus MTP's test-specific annotations.
  • All temporary probes and workflow switches are removed. No test-summary/action or pilot-only target/job remains.

Known existing flakiness

Removing automatic retries exposes existing intermittent failures. CloneOfMissingHttpRepositoryMapsGitsNotFoundPhrasing can misclassify a localhost URL containing 403 in its port as an HTTP authorization failure; this was reproduced with port 40321. An App JSON-output test also failed during the negative proof and passed on subsequent clean runs. These production/test issues are not changed by this reporting PR; the new reporting makes their failures visible.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Test Improvements
    • Improved unit-test execution across projects and target frameworks.
    • Added clearer reporting for failed or incomplete test runs, including annotations and summaries.
    • Added validation for test and coverage reports.
    • Test logs and result artifacts are now retained for troubleshooting, organized by run attempt, with seven-day retention.
    • Improved coverage result publishing for supported .NET 10 workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Unit-test execution now uses explicit assembly runs with JUnit, Cobertura, and GitHub reporting. The workflow captures diagnostics, writes failure summaries, and always preserves attempt-specific test artifacts.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fa0b5

Completed test results remain eligible for upload after non-cancelled test failures, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

Upload completed test results after test failures.

When any project fails, success() prevents the Codecov test-results step from running. This discards valid results.xml reports from projects that completed before the failure.

Use !cancelled() for this test-results step. Keep the coverage step at Line 100 success-only.

Proposed fix
-        if: success() && inputs.publish_coverage && matrix.dotnet_version == '10.0'
+        if: ${{ !cancelled() && inputs.publish_coverage && matrix.dotnet_version == '10.0' }}

Based on learnings, test-results uploads should run after failures, while coverage uploads must remain success-only.

@coderabbitai Resolved the finding in your review, folded into workflow commit 5c57e6635:

  • The Codecov JUnit upload now uses !cancelled() with the existing publishing/framework gates, so completed reports upload after test failures.
  • Coverage upload remains success-only. The JUnit step is now named “Upload Test Results”.
  • Validation: actionlint and git diff checks pass; local CodeRabbit review completed with zero findings. Hosted CI for the updated head is pending.

I also clarified the PR description: the BuildAgents pilot was introduced during this PR's development and replaced by shared reporting for all test projects. No Azure DevOps functionality is removed. Dependency versions and historical passing/failing/skipped/host-exit evidence remain linked in the validation section, with historical evidence distinguished from current-head checks.

The finding was posted in the review body outside the diff, so GitHub exposes no review thread to mark resolved. This comment records its resolution.
