VisualStudioTestPlatformInstaller@1 - Visual Studio test platform installer v1 task

项目
02/27/2024

Use this task to acquire the Microsoft test platform from nuget.org or a specified feed, and add it to the tools cache. The installer task satisfies the vstest demand, and a subsequent Visual Studio Test task in a build or release pipeline can run without needing a full Visual Studio install on the agent machine.

Inputs

versionSelector - Version
string. Required. Allowed values: latestPreRelease (Latest Pre-Release), specificVersion (Specific Version). Default value: latestPreRelease.

Installs the latest version or a specific version of the Visual Studio Test Platform. If you use the test platform installer to run Coded UI tests, the chosen Visual Studio Test Platform must match the major version of the Visual Studio installation that built the test binaries. For example, if the Coded UI test project was built using Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.x), you must use Test Platform version 15.x.

testPlatformVersion - Test Platform Version
string. Required when versionSelector = specificVersion.

Specifies the version of Visual Studio Test Platform to install on the agent. Available versions can be viewed on NuGet.

Remarks

Note
