Summary

  • uloop run-tests no longer reports a run with inconclusive tests as passed. Such a run now answers Status: Inconclusive with Success: false and names each inconclusive test with the message of the assumption it could not meet.

User Impact

  • Before: NUnit can roll an inconclusive test up into a passed suite, so run-tests answered Status: Passed, Success: true, exit code 0, and listed no names. Unity's own batchmode test run (-runTests) exits with a failure for the same tests, so a CI job that runs Unity directly failed on three inconclusive tests that run-tests had reported as passing.
  • After: the run reports Status: Inconclusive and Success: false, so the CLI exits non-zero. The response carries InconclusiveCount and up to 10 InconclusiveTests entries (full name and message), and the NUnit XML is saved for the run, as it already was for failures. The XML records every inconclusive test's message, including those beyond the 10 the response lists.
  • Behavior change: a test that skips itself with Assume now fails the run, which matches Unity's batchmode result. A test that cannot run in an environment should call Assert.Ignore so it reports as skipped; the tests in this repository already do.

Changes

  • Classification: any inconclusive leaf makes the run Inconclusive. A failed leaf still takes precedence and keeps the run Failed, and so does a Failed root with no failed leaf (a OneTimeTearDown exception fails the fixture without failing a leaf).
  • Response: InconclusiveCount is always present. InconclusiveTests is omitted when no test was inconclusive, and the result recovered after a domain reload carries both.
  • The NUnit XML is saved when a leaf failed or was inconclusive. An inconclusive leaf gets a <reason><message> element, where NUnit 3 puts the explanation of a test that reached no verdict, not a <failure> element.
  • The run-tests skill documents the new status, the new fields, and what the XML holds for inconclusive tests; the generated skill copies are regenerated.

Verification

  • The flipped pin and the new converter, XML, and response tests were observed failing before the change.
  • The XML reason test and the Failed root test were observed failing before their changes.
  • uloop run-tests: RunTestsTestFrameworkResultTests 27/27; RunTestsResponseContractTests, RunTestsToolTests, and UnityTestFrameworkOptionalGuardTests 22/22; every class matching RunTests 180/180.
  • End to end: a temporary test calling Assume.That(false) beside a passing test ran through the real Test Runner and returned Status: Inconclusive, Success: false, an InconclusiveTests entry with the assumption message, and a saved XmlPath; the CLI exited 1. The temporary test was removed afterwards.
  • check-skill-size, sync-tool-docs --check, the code complexity check, and the file length check pass.

NUnit can roll an inconclusive leaf up into a Passed suite, so run-tests
answered Status Passed and Success true while Unity's batchmode test run
exits with a failure for the same tests. A feature branch's CI failed on
three Assume-based tests that run-tests had shown as passing, and the
response named none of them.

- Any inconclusive leaf now yields Status Inconclusive and Success false;
  a failed leaf still takes precedence.
- The response adds InconclusiveCount and InconclusiveTests (up to 10,
  with the assumption's message), and the NUnit XML is saved for
  inconclusive runs as well as failed ones.
- The run-tests skill documents the status and fields and points tests
  that cannot run in an environment to Assert.Ignore.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Run-test results now include inconclusive counts and test details. Runs with inconclusive tests receive an Inconclusive status unless failures take precedence. The XML-saving conditions and documented response contract now cover inconclusive results.

Changes

Inconclusive result reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Result data and classification
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/TestRunner/SerializableTestResult.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/UnityCliLoopTestExecutionTypes.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/TestFramework/SerializableTestResultConverter.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/RunTestsTestFrameworkResultTests.cs
The serialized result includes an inconclusive count and test details. The converter counts and collects inconclusive leaves, classifies runs that contain them, and preserves Failed status when failures coexist. Tests cover details and the 10-item limit.
Response contract and documentation
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/RunTestsResponse.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/RunTestsResponseFactory.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/RunTestsUseCase.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/RunTestsResponseContractTests.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/RunTestsToolTests.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/RunTestsUnfilteredFilterEchoTests.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/Skill/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/uloop-run-tests/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/uloop-run-tests/SKILL.md
The response exposes the inconclusive count and optional test details. The factory copies these values, and tests and skill documentation describe the response fields and inconclusive status.
XML saving conditions
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/TestFramework/PlayModeTestExecuter.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/RunTests/TestFramework/RunTestsPendingRunCallback.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/RunTestsTestFrameworkResultTests.cs
Both callbacks use the converter’s predicate to save XML for runs with failures or inconclusive tests. Tests cover failed, inconclusive, and passed-or-skipped results.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97630

A fixture teardown failure combined with an inconclusive test can be reported as Inconclusive rather than Failed. The run is still unsuccessful, but its status is misleading; this is a bounded reporting risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97630

A failed test suite can be reported as Inconclusive when it also contains an inconclusive test. The run remains unsuccessful, but automation that distinguishes failures from inconclusive results could miss the suite failure. No new privilege boundary or passing result for that case was identified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: A Failed suite with inconclusive leaves but no failed leaves is classified as Inconclusive before its root failure status is considered. This preserves an unsuccessful result but weakens the failure category available to downstream automation.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed exposure is the diagnostic response and saved XML available through the existing run-tests workflow; inspected callers and dependency evidence do not show a new privileged sink or cross-service boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new XML reason assigns the test-supplied message through XmlElement.InnerText, as the existing failure-message path does. No message redaction control was identified in this exporter.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The identified root-failure misclassification does not make that run successful, but it can obscure a failure category used by downstream CI policy or triage. The saved XML retains the suite result attribute.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Preserve a Failed root or suite outcome ahead of inconclusive-leaf classification, and verify the mixed suite-level failure case through Unity before relying on Status for CI policy.

official NUnit 3 documentation OneTimeSetUp OneTimeTearDown failure result test case status suite result inconclusive

💡 Result:

- **`OneTimeSetUp` fails:** NUnit does not run the suite’s child tests; it reports the setup failure/error for the fixture subtree. It generally still runs the matching `OneTimeTearDown`, unless execution is aborted. ([docs.nunit.org](https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/writing-tests/attributes/onetimesetup.html?utm_source=openai))
- **Suite status:** NUnit defines distinct suite results `SetUpFailure` (setup failed) and `SetUpError` (unexpected exception in setup). A setup failure does **not** inherently mean the suite is *Inconclusive*. ([docs.nunit.org](https://docs.nunit.org/api/NUnit.Framework.Interfaces.ResultState.html?utm_source=openai))
- **`OneTimeTearDown` fails:** the issue is recorded on the fixture/suite as a teardown failure; individual child outcomes are usually unchanged. ([docs.nunit.org](https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/writing-tests/attributes/onetimeteardown.html?utm_source=openai))
- **Inconclusive:** this is a separate NUnit status, not the default result of a failed one-time setup. ([docs.nunit.org](https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/writing-tests/TestContext.html?utm_source=openai))

Treat a Failed root as a failure before classifying inconclusive leaves.

NUnit can record a OneTimeTearDown failure on the fixture while child outcomes remain unchanged. A Failed root with zero failed leaves and an inconclusive child can therefore reach this code. The proposed guard would restore the Failed status, but hasFailures would remain false. Include the root status when deriving hasFailures, then let the existing HasFailures branch handle the result.

Proposed change
-            bool hasFailures = failedTests > 0;
+            bool hasFailures = failedTests > 0 || result.TestStatus == TestStatus.Failed;

Add a regression test for a Failed root with an inconclusive child and zero failed leaves. Assert both status == "Failed" and hasFailures == true.

The run now saves the XML when a test is inconclusive, but the exporter only
wrote details for failed leaves, so an inconclusive leaf carried just its
result attribute. The skill said the XML holds the messages, and beyond the
ten leaves the response lists, the unmet assumptions were nowhere to be read.

Inconclusive leaves now get a <reason><message> element, the NUnit 3 place
for why a test reached no verdict, rather than <failure>, so readers of the
XML do not count them as failed assertions. The skill text and its
generated copies now describe what the XML contains.
A OneTimeTearDown exception fails the fixture without failing any leaf. With an inconclusive leaf in that run, the new classification reported Inconclusive where the run used to report Failed, hiding the fixture failure behind the weaker status. A Failed root now falls through to the root status, as before this change, and the inconclusive leaf is still counted and listed. Raised by a review comment on the pull request.
