Setting ServerGC for the test runner
See original GitHub issueDescription
VSTest.console.exe is currently configured to run in workstation GC (also concurrent). There is currently no way to change this behavior other than patching the vstest.console.exe.config file in the VS installation folder. This solution is obviously not pleasant.
We have a big test assembly (11.5k tests) and it makes a big difference: the tests take 9 minutes to run with ServerGC=off and 4.5 minutes with ServerGC=on.
Expected behavior
- It’s probably not a bad thing to make
ServerGC=onby default (MSTest v1 was using server GC, seeQTAgent32.exe.Config) - If not, it would be nice to set the behavior via the
.runsettingsfile.

@ivonin my PR got merged, so this should be included in a future release & this can be closed 👍
@JoshKeegan some checks failed in my PR and to be honest I just didn’t have time to properly deal with it back then.
You can try again and see if maybe things have changed since.
