Build Step of Unit Test Run No Longer Shows

Hello, Dave,

Could you please navigate to Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolset and Build | Presentation and enable the Tool Window: open the build progress view even when the build is invoked implicitly setting?

Thanks, that doesn't seem to help.

Try this simple example:

Write a unit test, but make it deliberately uncompilable:

[TestClass]
public sealed class TestSomething {
   [TestMethod]
   public void Test_BuildError() {
      this is not valid code and will not compile
   }
}

Then find the test in the Unit Test Explorer, right-click it and run it.

Expected Behaviour: Project builds (with green dot on build tab icon, or maybe with build window showing build, depending on settings), build fails, build error is displayed

Actual Behaviour: Solution-wide analysis is suspended, but there is no other indication that a build is being performed. There is no green dot on the build tab, and opening the build window, nothing is there. Once the build fails, solution-wide analysis is resumed, but there is no other indication that the build failed. There is no build log, there are no error messages, there is no notifcation about the result of the build, nothing. The build effectively executed outside of the IDE and there is no result anywhere about it at all.

Hello, Dave,

Thank you for the details. We were able to reproduce the same behavior on our side. It appears that the build is not started at all in this case. I have submitted a new issue in our tracker: RIDER-104574 Build not triggered when attempting to run unit tests with uncompilable code.
