Can't seem to find a way to save the output of unit tests to a .trx file. Seems like during the change from VS2010 to VS2015 we've lost that feauture. Problem is our tests can sometimes cause VS2015 to crash, especially when we're running overnight, and sadly the test results aren't saved anywhere so we're not able to know which test caused visual studio to crash.
We use a .runsettings file that references a .testrunconfig for configuration.

Hello, may I know if you have got any chance to check my answer? I am glad to help if you have any other questions.
Hey Anna, I was able to find elsewhere about the vstest.console.exe but your advice is the correct answer so thank you! Good to know the direction I took was the right one. I would ask however, the vstest.console.exe that comes with vs2015 doesn't have some of the newer options like /blame or /InParallel, is there a way to use perhaps a newer version of the vstest.console.exe with dlls built using vs2015?
Hi @Teige, Connor,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
You can try to use the vstest.console.exe to logs the test results to a .trx file.
By default, the vstest.console.exe file is located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow folder.
Please open the developer command prompt Visual Studio 2015 and run the following command:
vstest.console.exe "YourTestProjectPath\YourTestProject\bin\<DebugorRelease>\TestProject.dll" /Logger:trx
Then, you can find the test results in the location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\TestResults
Sincerely,
Anna
