Switch the Coverage Engine to Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage - #943
Merged
Conversation
ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1088 resolved its open decision to `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` rather than `coverlet.MTP`, and hub `WORKFLOW.md` D1.6 now binds an MTP-based repo, in practice any repo on xunit.v3 4.0.0 or later, to that package at 18.9.0 or later in place of `coverlet.collector`. PlexCleaner became MTP-based in #940, so the "migration still owed rather than drift" exemption D1.6 grants a repo that is not yet MTP-based no longer covers it. #940 chose coverlet.MTP on the strength of the issue's original recommendation, before that decision was recorded. - `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` 18.10.0 replaces `coverlet.MTP`, central-managed as an exact pin rather than a range. - The CI step becomes `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage`, byte-identical to the hub validator's own, so the two gates cannot drift on coverage. - `--coverage-output` stays unset, since pinning one filename gives every test project in the solution the same path and the last to finish overwrites the rest. The `<guid>.cobertura.xml` default it writes instead is a name `codecov-cli`'s file finder does not match, its patterns being `*coverage*.*` and an exact `cobertura.xml`, so each report is prefixed to `coverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml` rather than renamed, keeping the guid. - `.gitignore` gains `*.cobertura.xml` and `TestResults/`, which D1.6 names. A run that passes no results directory writes `./TestResults/<guid>.cobertura.xml`. The 18.9.0 floor takes two reasons and the comments now carry both, because the first alone would justify lowering it to 18.1.0. Below 18.1.0 the extension is built against Microsoft.Testing.Platform 1.x and an 18.0.x resolution throws a `TypeLoadException` against the 2.x platform xunit.v3 4.0.0 carries, runs zero tests, and still writes a well-formed Cobertura file reporting full coverage, so only the non-zero exit says the run reported nothing. 18.9.0 is then the first release on Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.x, where every test project writes into the one shared results directory the invocation names. Verified on the .NET 10.0.400 SDK: the graph resolves 18.10.0 over Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.3, 239 of 239 tests pass at exit 0, the report carries real data (`line-rate="0.501"`) rather than the full-coverage artifact the floor warns about, the raw name is `<guid>.cobertura.xml` and the prefixed name matches codecov's finder, and the Docker builder's own `dotnet test` still passes 239 of 239. Also corrects four sites, and one comment this change added, that said the hub still ran the VSTest invocation and that adopting its task would be a deletion. ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1107 migrated the hub's step, so that is no longer the blocker. What blocks adoption now is that the hub's task declares no `ref` input and checks out the caller's default ref, where `publish-release.yml`'s `validate` job passes `github.sha` so the publish gate validates the exact commit being published, per D4.6.

🟢 Approval recommended
The package, workflow, documentation, and ignore-rule updates are consistent and fully remove the prior coverlet.MTP-based coverage path.
Pull request overview
This PR updates PlexCleaner’s .NET test coverage tooling to use the Microsoft.Testing.Platform-native Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage package (instead of coverlet.MTP) and aligns the CI invocation/output with the hub validator pattern, including the Cobertura filename prefixing needed for Codecov discovery.
Changes:
- Replace
coverlet.MTPwithMicrosoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoveragein central package management and the test project. - Update the CI unit-test step to
dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage, then prefix generated*.cobertura.xmlreports for Codecov. - Update repo docs and ignore rules to reflect the new coverage artifacts and workflow rationale.

Both comments described the extension as replacing `coverlet.collector`, which is D1.2's own wording for the fleet baseline but not what happens here: this repository was on `coverlet.MTP`, chosen in #940 before ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1088 resolved the fleet on this package. A reader of these files sees a replacement that did not occur. Both now name `coverlet.MTP` as the thing displaced and keep `coverlet.collector` as the baseline further back, so the comment matches the diff and still connects to D1.2's wording. The test project's comment also drops the sentence about `xunit.runner.visualstudio`, which #940 removed and this change does not touch, and records instead that the compile-time closure requirement is enforced by a build failure, since the generated `SelfRegisteredExtensions.cs` calls into the package directly.

🟢 Approval recommended
The coverage engine swap is implemented consistently across package management, CI invocation, and documentation, with Codecov upload behavior preserved via the report prefix loop.

Why
ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1088 resolved its open decision to
Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage, notcoverlet.MTP. HubWORKFLOW.mdD1.6 now binds an MTP-based repo, "in practice any repo on xunit.v3 4.0.0 or later", to that package at 18.9.0 or later in place ofcoverlet.collector.D1.6 exempts a repo that is not yet MTP-based, calling that "a migration still owed rather than drift". #940 made PlexCleaner MTP-based, so the exemption no longer covers it. #940 picked coverlet.MTP on the strength of the issue's original recommendation, before the decision was recorded.
What
Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage18.10.0 replacescoverlet.MTP.dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverageplus the report-prefix loop, byte-identical to the hub validator's own step, so the two gates cannot drift on coverage..gitignoregains*.cobertura.xmlandTestResults/, which D1.6 names as part of the guarantee.WORKFLOW.mdD1.2 and the 5A audit list follow.Both load-bearing details of the invocation are carried, since neither fails the job on its own:
--coverage-outputstays unsetcoverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml<guid>.cobertura.xmldefault is a namecodecov-cli's finder does not match, its patterns being*coverage*.*and an exactcobertura.xmlThe 18.9.0 floor takes two reasons, and the comments carry both
The first reason alone would justify lowering the floor to 18.1.0, so both are stated in
Directory.Packages.propsand in D1.2:TypeLoadExceptionagainst the 2.x platform xunit.v3 4.0.0 carries, runs zero tests, exits non-zero, and still writes a well-formed Cobertura file reporting full coverage — only the exit code says the run reported nothing.The pin is exact under central package management (

Four sites, plus one comment this change first added, claimed the hub still ran the VSTest invocation and that adopting its task would be "a deletion rather than a change". ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1107 migrated the hub's step, so that is no longer the blocker.
What blocks adoption now is different, and worth recording: the hub's
validate-task.ymldeclares onlymarkdown-exclude-globsandrepo-gate-exclude-globs, with norefinput, and every checkout in it is bare. This repo'spublish-release.ymlvalidatejob passesref: ${{ github.sha }}so the publish gate validates the exact commit being published, which is D4.6 "Publish is tested as built". Adopting the hub task as-is would either failworkflow_callvalidation on an undeclared input, or, with the input dropped, silently validate the default ref instead of the commit being released.Summary by CodeRabbit
