Can't navigate to test case through Visual Studio's Test Explorer if test is inherited from another project
Hi!
I am having issues navigating to test cases through the Test Explorer in this repository: https://github.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers
It has a test project per c# language version and inherits test cases from projects for earlier language versions into projects for later versions. If I double click in the Test Explorer on a test case in a project where it is inherited, nothing happens. Doing the same in the project where it is actually implemented works though.
Example: Test case TestFailureIssue780Async is implemented in project StyleCop.Analyzers.Test. If I have test cases grouped by Project+Namespace+Class and filter on the name in Test Explorer, I get a hit in all 5 test projects, as expected. However, trying to navigate to the test only works through the StyleCop.Analyzers.Test project, not any of the others.
This is annoying if I am running tests through one of the later test projects and need to check one of the older/inherited test cases. Not sure if this is in your hands at all, or if it's up to Visual Studio, but I am starting here.
xunit.runner.visualstudio version: 2.4.1 (have also tried to upgrade to 2.4.5, but that did not change this behaviour) Visual Studio version: 17.2.6
I don't know that we have any control over this, but if we do, it belongs to the VSTest adapter, so I'm moving this issue there.
As far as I know, we're using DiaSession correctly, or so the comment would imply, by using DeclaringType to determine where the assembly file is supposed to be. Someone will have to dig in with a debugger to understand if everything is working as expected, since you can't realistically simulate the behavior of Visual Studio without fully understanding it first.
I tried the same with both MSTest and NUnit just now and got the same behaviour, so it feels unlikely that this is "on you". I reported it as Visual Studio feedback to see what they say: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Unable-to-navigate-to-a-unit-test-inheri/10106372
