I'm wondering if it is possible to link Test Cases in TFS 2013 to xUnit tests. Currently it works fine for msTest tests but once I change the method attribute from 'TestMethod' to 'Fact' and rebuild the test no longer appears when I click the Associated Automation in the Test Case to link the two together.
Has anybody any experience or answers for this?
Thanks
It is possible with the TFS API. This PowerShell script show you how to do that (see: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/gautamg/2012/01/01/how-to-associate-automation-programmatically/ for reference).
# Get TC
$tfsTpc = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory]::GetTeamProjectCollection($TPC_URL)
$tms = $tfsTpc.GetService([Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.ITestManagementService])
$tp = $tms.GetTeamProject($TP_NAME)
$tc = $tp.TestCases.Find($tcId)
# Compute Automation Guid
$sha1Crypto = new-object System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider
[Byte[]] $bytes = New-Object Byte[] 16
[Array]::Copy($sha1Crypto.ComputeHash([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($testName)), $bytes, $bytes.Length)
# Create association
$tc.Implementation = $tp.CreateTmiTestImplementation($testName, $AUTOMATION_TYPE, $AUTOMATION_STORAGE_NAME, $automationGuid)
$tc.Save()
$automationGuid = New-Object -TypeName Guid -ArgumentList @(,$bytes)
But you will not be able to associate the execution with the Test Case in TFS.
The test must be run with MSTest V1 to log results as a valid TRX to be published in TFS through TCM.exe. Even with vstest.console.exe and the TRX logger option the xml result is not understandable by TCM.exe.
