Dotnet test --filter not working?

[chrispellett]

Apologies if this is not a tunit issue (perhaps it is a testing platform item?).

I am trying to leverage the dotnet test --filter functionality to limit what tests are run.

My basic setup:

• Company.Tests: tunit project with just unit tests
• Company.IntegrationTests: tunit project with integration tests. Also has [assembly: Category("Integration")]

I have tried numerous combinations of filters, none of which seem to work. A few examples I tried:
dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~IntegrationTests"
dotnet test --filter "Category=Integration"

The only thing I could get to work was the example from [Explicit]: dotnet run --treenode-filter ////

I just wanted to check if the dotnet filter part is meant to work from a tunit perspective?

Many thanks

Heya - Nope, the --filter flag is a VSTest relic, and because TUnit isn't built on top of VSTest, it won't work.

You'll need to use the treenode filter.

dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~IntegrationTests"
turns into
dotnet test -- --treenode-filter /*/*/*IntegrationTests/*

and

dotnet test --filter "Category=Integration"
turns into
dotnet test -- --treenode-filter /*/*/*/*[Category=Integration]
