Cause
A test context property is not following single or multiple points of the required test context layout.
Rule description
TestContext properties should follow the given layout to be considered valid by MSTest:
- they should be properties and not fields
- they should be named
TestContext(case insensitive) - they should be
public(orinternalif the[assembly: DiscoverInternals]assembly attribute is set) - they should not be
static - they should not be readonly
How to fix violations
Ensure that the TestContext property matches the required layout described above.
When to suppress warnings
Do not suppress a warning from this rule. Ignoring this rule will result in the TestContext not being injected by MSTest, thus resulting in NullReferenceException or inconsistent state when using the property.
