I am trying to run SpecFlow tests as part of a TFS Build. Is there a way i can set it up without the SpecFlow+ runner. What are the advantages of using SpecFlow+ runner?

Anyone has experience setting these up?

SpecFlow+ runner

Smarter integration test runner for SpecFlow

SpecFlow+ Runner is a dedicated test execution engine providing better reporting, faster (parallel) test execution and better VS/TFS integration

Highly recommend to use specflow+ runner to run specflow tests via TFS.

To configure your build process in TFS 2017 to execute tests using SpecFlow+ Runner:

  1. Open TFS and switch to your build definition.
  2. Click on Add build step to add a new step to the build definition. Click on Test in the list of categories and click on Add next to "Visual Studio Test".

  3. Configure the build step as follows:

    Enter the path to your Test Assembly

    If you are using both MSTest and SpecFlow+ Runner, enter the path to NuGet package folder in the Path to Custom Test Adapters field. If you do not enter the path here, only your MSTest tests will be executed as TFS cannot find the SpecFlow+Runner test adapter.

    Enter the name of your .srprofile file in the Run Settings File field if the name is not TFS.srprofile or default.srprofile (see above).

  4. Save your changes.
