How to publish results using dotnet test command

Question

I have a test project written in dotnet core. This need to publish the results in an XML or HTML format. Is there a way I can publish the results to a particular directory using

Answer 1

You can see all the dotnet test options by executing dotnet test --help. One of the options is -l, --logger, which gives some great information:

Specify a logger for test results.
Examples:
Log in trx format using a unqiue file name: --logger trx
Log in trx format using the specified file name: --logger "trx;LogFileName="
More info on logger arguments support:https://aka.ms/vstest-report

That support link https://aka.ms/vstest-report, has the full information.

So to answer your specific question, you can say

dotnet test -l:trx;LogFileName=C:\temp\TestOutput.xml

To publish the results to a particular directory.

Another option is setting MSBuild properties in your test.csproj:

  trx
  C:\temp

Which tells the logger to put the file in the C:\temp directory.
