“Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTest.TestAdapter.resources” not found
I'm trying to create an integration test in .NET Core 2.1 with the latest Visual Studio 2017 build. There is nothing special about my setup whatsoever.
If I put the "async" keyword on a test, as is needed to test async methods, VS will terminate before attempting to run any tests with a FileNotFound exception. The missing file is "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTest.TestAdapter.resources".
So the question (other than 'how does Microsoft keep managing to release such broken frameworks') is: Why?
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
namespace ServiceClients.IntegrationTests
{
[TestClass]
public class SicklyUnitTest
{
[TestInitialize]
public void Initialize()
{
}
// This is fine
[TestMethod]
public void TrueIsTrue()
{
Assert.IsTrue(true);
}
// This causes FileNotFound - "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTest.TestAdapter.resources"
[TestMethod]
public async void DeOmnibusDubitandum()
{
Assert.IsTrue(true);
}
}
}

Framework is not broken. You are writing bad code. Avoidasync void. Usepublic async Task DeOmnibusDubitandum()You should also check to make sure you have the correct versions/ packages referenced.

async voidare fire and forget, so it is being invoked before anything else in the test has had time to be invoked, thus the error.

Where do you see the exception? When I run your test I get a warningMethod DeOmnibusDubitandum defined in class ServiceClients.IntegrationTests.SicklyUnitTest does not have correct signature. Test method marked with the [TestMethod] attribute must be non-static, public, return-type as void and should not take any parameter. Example: public void Test.Class1.Test(). Additionally, if you are using async-await in test method then return-type must be Task. Example: public async Task Test.Class1.Test2()

Method that is marked with TestInitialize attribute should be a static method. Make it static and the below exception will be fixed.
{System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load the specified file.
File name: 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTest.TestAdapter.resources'
