Codex is unable to run unit tests on a .NET 10 unit test project.
It either fails or hangs.
thread ID 019c6d83-a37d-7573-88d6-b3a2592ad504
some example output of what it says:
dotnet test now fails due the .NET 10 + Microsoft.Testing.Platform opt-in requirement, so I’m checking the test project settings and then I’ll run with the correct flag to validate the suite.
• The same VSTest-target error persists even without filters. I’m trying the explicit MTP opt-in property on the command line next to see if this environment ignores the project-level setting.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Try running a test project via dotnet cli with MTP runner.
