[VsTest] .testsettings not taken into account

See original GitHub issue

Hey! The Visual Studio Test task’s documentation for the Run Settings File parameter specifies:

Run Settings File: Path to a runsettings or testsettings file can be specified here.

But any .testsettings file passed will be ignored.

I guess this is just an outdated documentation, but I want to make sure that .testsettings are indeed not supported and that this is not a bug.

Thanks!

We have filed a bug and will be fixing it in the next sprint. Run in Parallel should not work with testsettings file. As a workaround, please uncheck the “Run in Parallel” check box. Thanks!
