Only the "CollectCoverage" property is working

I’m following the guide here to try and use coverlet to create a code coverage report.

In summary, I’ve run the following commands:

dotnet new xunit -n XUnit.Coverlet.MSBuild
cd XUnit.Coverlet.MSBuild
dotnet add package coverlet.msbuild
dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura

The issue is with the final step, where the output is:

So the output is still the default “coverage.json” instead of the expected cobertura xml.

So I tested with some other properties, and they also don’t work:

dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura

And the output is exactly the same:

I’ve run the same thing on my home PC, and it is not having the same issues.

The only difference I can think of is that the PC with the issue is a Windows Server 2016 machine, and my home PC is a Windows 10.

I’ve tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of Visual Studio which didn’t help.

Can anyone suggest a way I can get this to work?

I close this as the external issue is fixed. Feel free to reopen.

Tried this instead based on a comment in #1391 and it worked.

dotnet test -p:CollectCoverage=true -e:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura -e:CoverletOutput='../../TestResults/'
