Allow customise test log output location

• This issue is blocking
• This issue is causing unreasonable pain

The solution I’m currently working consists of hundreds of projects (many of which a test projects). As a result the ./artifacts/logs folder gets filled with many *.log files (example). It makes it difficult to see other logs produced during the build. The paths are configured here: https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/blob/0978c75667efa5248017f7babab1ff966ab7e622/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Arcade.Sdk/tools/Tests.targets#L40-L68

I’m specifically interested in ResultsStdOutPath, and it doesn’t look like the destination path can be easily customised (short of changing ArtifactsLogDir variable).

May we entertain the following tweak?

    <PropertyGroup>
      <_TestArchitecture>%(_TestArchitectureItems.Identity)</_TestArchitecture>
      <_ResultFileNameNoExt>$(MSBuildProjectName)_$(TargetFramework)_$(_TestArchitecture)</_ResultFileNameNoExt>

+     <TestResultsLogDir Condition=" '$(TestResultsLogDir)' == '' ">$(ArtifactsLogDir)</TestResultsLogDir>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
      <TestToRun Include="$(TargetPath)">
        <TargetFramework>$(TargetFramework)</TargetFramework>
        <TargetFrameworkIdentifier>$(TargetFrameworkIdentifier)</TargetFrameworkIdentifier>
        <TargetFrameworkVersion>$(TargetFrameworkVersion)</TargetFrameworkVersion>
        <TestRuntime>$(TestRuntime)</TestRuntime>
        <TestTimeout>$(TestTimeout)</TestTimeout>
        <Architecture>$(_TestArchitecture)</Architecture>
        <EnvironmentDisplay>$(TargetFramework)|$(_TestArchitecture)</EnvironmentDisplay>
        <ResultsFilePathWithoutExtension>$(_ResultFileNameNoExt)</ResultsFilePathWithoutExtension>
        <ResultsXmlPath>$(ArtifactsTestResultsDir)$(_ResultFileNameNoExt).xml</ResultsXmlPath>
        <ResultsTrxPath>$(ArtifactsTestResultsDir)$(_ResultFileNameNoExt).trx</ResultsTrxPath>
        <ResultsHtmlPath>$(ArtifactsTestResultsDir)$(_ResultFileNameNoExt).html</ResultsHtmlPath>
-       <ResultsStdOutPath>$(ArtifactsLogDir)$(_ResultFileNameNoExt).log</ResultsStdOutPath>
+       <ResultsStdOutPath>$(TestResultsLogDir)$(_ResultFileNameNoExt).log</ResultsStdOutPath>
        <TestRunnerAdditionalArguments>$(TestRunnerAdditionalArguments)</TestRunnerAdditionalArguments>
      </TestToRun>
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

This way I can alter my solution’s config as this:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TestResultsLogDir>$([MSBuild]::NormalizeDirectory('$(ArtifactsLogDir)', 'TestLogs'))</TestResultsLogDir>
  </PropertyGroup>

…and have tests in a subfolder:

Alright, after regenerating both tokens it seemed to work. Thank you for the suggestions.

May be your local Azdo PAT expired. Try to regenerate it and put it back in darc-authenticate -(main/Documentation/Darc.md#authenticate)

I updated AzDO PAT, and still the same result…
