This extension contains unofficial unit test templates for WinUI 3 desktop to make testing WinUI 3 assemblies easier.

Due to the experimental state of unit testing WinUI 3 with Visual Studio, there are limitations and known issues:

  • Debugger does not work with VS 2022
  • Test runs may occasionally fail with an error of "The active test run was aborted. Reason: Unable to communicate with test host process."
    • Rebuilding the project or reopening the solution will often fixes this issue.
  • Debugger with VS 2019 does not register correctly that test run has completed; VS stays in debugging mode.
  • VS Test discovery "leaks" two window when running tests, i.e. the templates that host UI will leave a window open when started through the test runner and running the tests will also leave the app open.

This list may not exhaustive, if you find more issues/bugs, feel free to create an issue/PR on the extensions GitHub repository
