Hi ,

I have installed the visual studio 2022 latest version on the virtual machine and trying to execute CodedUI tests from vstest.console.exe but I'm seeing the warning message as

The test execution was delegated to legacy TestPlatform runner. You are seeing this message most likely because you are running MSTest v1 tests with a testsettings file, Generic tests, Ordered tests or CodedUI tests. All of those test types, and the legacy TestPlatform runner are legacy. It is recommended that you migrate to MSTest v2 but though my testcases are running

Since MSTest v2 doesn't support CodedUI tests but I would like to know if we can do any changes to .csproj to avoid this message showing up everytime while running tests.

Thanks,
Divya.

    Hi @PONNALA Divya ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    For your requirement, I suppose it is impossible to disable the warning through .csproj.
    It is disappeared after you migrate to MSTest v2.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
