Answer 1

The default templates available on vso-build provides an example of what you want. If you create a new build definition and then select Visual Studio as the default template, you get a Visual Studio Test task which tries to discover all dlls which has 'test' in their name.

The test assembly name should be in this format.

**\$(BuildConfiguration)\*test*.dll;-:**\obj\**

Also make sure that you set the working folder to the proper location so that it can find the dlls using the search pattern mentioned above.

I assume you are using a same approach to implement xUnit test in Asp.Net Core project as this link: Getting Started with xUnit.net (DNX / ASP.NET 5).

Generally, the build output directory for Asp.Net Core project is a bit different with other projects. The compiled dlls are placed in $(BuildConfiguration)\dnx451 folder. This depends on the framework you use. To find these files, update the path of Test Assemblies to following:

**\$(BuildConfiguration)\*\*test*.dll;-:**\obj\**
