Visual Studio 2019 - Console Unit Fails

Hi

I have a unit test that compares two numbers. In VS 2017, this test passes without any issues. I installed VS 2019 and the following exception gets thrown, when running my unit tests:

Message: The handle is invalid at System.ConsolePal.GetBufferInfo(Boolean throwOnNoConsole, Boolean& succeeded) at System.Console.get_CursorTop()

which happens at this point in the code:

boardTop = Console.CursorTop + 1;

However. if I debug the Unit Test, it passes.

NUnit v3.11.0 NUnit 3TestAdapter v3.13.0

*Update

I have tested the units on Visual Studio 2019 for Mac and the test run correctly.

@kendrahavens @OsirisTerje I’ve created https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/551129/change-in-behaviour-between-vs-2017-and-vs-2019-wh.html, but I’ve not provided any information about how this impacts my workflow, as the problem was experienced by @VisualSanity, I just helped to diagnose the problem. Perhaps @VisualSanity can provide the information on developercommunity.

@mikkelbu I believe this is a Visual Studio issue. We did change some behavior in the console window in Visual Studio 2019. Could you open a bug on https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/ ? Thank you for including the repro solution! Any details you can include on how this impacts your workflow would be greatly appreciated. (i.e. Let us know if this is a major breaking scenario!)

I am also observing this on my machine, but am not sure of the cause. Filing it on developer community will help route it to the right team.
