# VSTest GitHub Action

This action was created to run tests using VSTest framework and to easily migrate a pipeline using [Azure DevOps VSTest task](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/test/vstest?view=azure-devops). Most of the commonly used properties in the [Azure DevOps VSTest task](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/test/vstest?view=azure-devops) map to properties of this GitHub action. Like the [Azure DevOps VSTest task](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/test/vstest?view=azure-devops), this action only supports `Windows` but NOT `Linux`.

Due to the unavailability of a Test results UI, test results are displayed in the console logs of the action.

## Usage

See [action.yml](action.yml)

## Example

```yaml
jobs:
  my_action_job:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    name: A job to run VSTest
    steps:

      - name: Unzip tests binary
        run: powershell Expand-Archive -Path tests.zip -DestinationPath ./

          searchFolder: ./tests/
          runInParallel: true
```
