Howto resolve .net test hangs on “Starting test execution, please wait…”

Question

I am trying to execute dotnet test from the command line on our Jenkins build server, but it just hangs on:

Starting test execution, please wait...

Answer 1

The solution that worked for me was to add an AssemblyInfo.cs file with the following contents:

using Xunit;

[assembly: CollectionBehavior(DisableTestParallelization = true)]

Once I did this, the tests started running in my CI builds again (in my case, Azure Pipelines).
