How to do this in Visual Studio Testing Explorer?

Question

I know I can do this when I run test via command line :

dotnet test myproject.csproj /p:IsTest=true

What if I want to pass that /p:IsTest=true when I run test via Visual studio's Test Explorer? How can I do this?

The Goal:

What I want to do is, selectively excluded some portion of my code from build process only when I want to run Test

in myproject.csproj :

  <PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <DefineConstants Condition=" '$(IsTest)' == 'true' ">$(DefineConstants);TEST</DefineConstants>
  </PropertyGroup>

This will allow me to put any codes behind #if TEST ... #endif or #if !TEST ... #endif

So I want to know if I can apply this concept when I run test from the Visual Studio itself rather than run test in cmd myself.

Answer 1

I have found a solution. Basically, just create a new build config specifically for Unit Test and use this before running the Test via Visual Studio's.

In this new build config, I can setup directly in each project of what property/symbols I needed.
