migrate-mstest-v1v2-to-v3
From the author
Use this skill before answering or editing whenever an MSTest v1/v2 project is being upgraded or repaired for v3. Triggers include QualityTools assembly references; MSTest.TestFramework/TestAdapter 1.x-2.x; "upgrade to MSTest v3"; comparing v1 and v2 migration paths; choosing MSTest or MSTest.Sdk; CS0411/CS1503 after a v3 package bump; DataRow type mismatch, MSTEST0014, or "Test data doesn't match method parameters"; .testsettings/LegacySettings to .runsettings; timeout changes; and net5.0 or other dropped v3 TFMs. Still use it when packages say 3.x but migration source errors or legacy settings remain. Preserve VSTest/MTP. Do not use for a clean v3 project, v3-to-v4, framework conversion, or runner-only migration.

- migrate-mstest-v3-to-v4dotnet/skillsUse this skill before answering, planning, or editing any MSTest 3.x-to-4.x upgrade or post-upgrade failure. Triggers include "MSTest v4 breaking changes"; CS0507/CS0103/CS1061/CS1615; ExecuteAsync, CallerInfo, DisplayName, or custom TestMethodAttribute; ClassCleanupBehavior; ContainsKey; ThrowsExactly or ExpectedException; IsInstanceOfType out parameters; TestTimeout.Infinite; ManagedType; net6/net7 compatibility; TestCase.Id history; TestName in ClassInitialize; TreatDiscoveryWarningsAsErrors; discovery errors after a clean build; and MSTest.Sdk/MTP or vstest.console discovery changes. Do not use for v1/v2-to-v3 leftovers, framework conversion, runner-only migration, or a general .NET upgrade.Marketing★ 5.7K
- migrate-vstest-to-mtpdotnet/skillsUse this skill before answering, planning, or editing whenever .NET tests or CI are switching from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP), or an MTP migration behaves differently. Triggers include "switch from VSTest"; MSTest/NUnit/xUnit MTP enablement; OutputType=Exe only for test projects in Directory.Build.props; EnableMSTestRunner, EnableNUnitRunner, UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner, or YTest.MTP.XUnit2; .NET 10 global.json test.runner and TestingPlatformDotnetTestSupport; translating VSTest filters, logger, coverage, blame, or dump arguments; replacing VSTest@3; and exit code 8 or zero tests. Also use for xUnit v3 MTP filters during a v2-to-v3 upgrade. Do not use for framework conversion, TFM, UWP, or WinUI.Testing★ 5.7K
- migrate-nunit-to-mstestdotnet/skillsConvert .NET tests from NUnit 3/4 to MSTest v4 while preserving VSTest or MTP. Use for replacing NUnit/NUnit3TestAdapter packages, Test/TestCase/ TestCaseSource/Values attributes, constraint assertions, SetUp/TearDown, OneTimeSetUp, SetUpFixture, FixtureLifeCycle, TestContext, categories, retries, timeouts, and NUnit parallelization. Also use when a "convert NUnit to MSTest" request may already be migrated: inspect and report the no-op. Do not use for NUnit version upgrades, xUnit/TUnit conversion, MSTest upgrades, or runner-only VSTest-to-MTP migration.Testing★ 5.7K
- migrate-xunit-to-xunit-v3dotnet/skillsMigrate .NET test projects from xUnit.net v2 to xunit.v3 and fix v3 breaks. Use for package/CPM conversion, OutputType=Exe, preserving the VSTest or MTP runner (including projects currently using YTest.MTP.XUnit2), incompatible TFMs, async void tests, string-to-Type attributes, custom Fact/Theory/BeforeAfterTest attributes, Xunit.SkippableFact, xunit.abstractions/extensibility consolidation, and Xunit.Combinatorial/StaFact compatibility. Do not use for framework conversion or a runner-only migration. For xUnit v3 MTP filter syntax, also use migrate-vstest-to-mtp.Testing★ 5.7K
- pester-migrationgithub/awesome-copilotPester migration skill for upgrading PowerShell Pester test suites across major versions — v3→v4, v4→v5, and v5→v6. Covers the Discovery/Run two-phase model, moving setup into BeforeAll, $PSScriptRoot vs $MyInvocation, mock changes (Assert-MockCalled → Should -Invoke, removed fall-through), Invoke-Pester parameters → PesterConfiguration, data-driven -ForEach/-TestCases, and the v6 breaking changes. Use when the user asks to upgrade, migrate, or modernize Pester tests, fix *.Tests.ps1 files that broke after bumping the Pester version, or convert legacy Should / Invoke-Pester syntax.Testing★ 40.3K
- msbuilddotnet/skillsUse only for MSBuild failure investigation, build-performance analysis, or review of existing build XML/extension contracts. A plan to convert a working legacy/non-SDK project to SDK style or migrate packages.config is a project-system migration, NOT a build-file review: do not activate, even to check scope. Framework/API upgrades are also excluded. Activate for advisory Import/Exists hook and NuGet packed-import questions even without a checkout or failed build; .csproj/.fsproj/.vbproj/.props/.targets conditions; custom-target inputs/outputs; .binlog capture/replay; failing dotnet build/restore/pack/publish or MSBuild-based test builds; slow evaluation, compilation, copying, or no-change builds; and controlled timing comparisons. Exclude SDK installation alone, C# refactoring, runtime profiling, assertions after successful builds, and non-MSBuild builds.Testing★ 5.7K
