Summary

  • run-tests now reports a run as failed when a test fixture or setup fixture fails outside its tests (for example, its [OneTimeTearDown] throws), even if every test passed.
  • The failing fixture and its error are listed in a new FailedSuites field, also when some of its tests failed too, and the NUnit XML is saved with the error on the fixture's element.
  • The skill now documents XmlPath as null when no XML was saved, matching what the response sends.

User Impact

  • Before: a run whose fixture teardown threw was reported as Status: Passed / Success: true. The error appeared nowhere and no XML was saved, so an agent could accept a broken test run as green.
  • After: the run is Status: Failed / Success: false / HasFailures: true, FailedSuites names each failing fixture with its message and source location, and XmlPath points to an XML file whose <test-suite> element carries the error.
  • A fixture whose [OneTimeSetUp] throws is listed too. Its tests only carry an OneTimeSetUp: ... message, so the fixture entry is the one that points at the throwing line.
  • Agents that compared XmlPath with an empty string, as the skill used to say, now know it is null when no XML was saved.

Changes

  • Judge a run from failed suites as well as failed tests. A suite is listed when its own one-time setup or teardown failed, which NUnit records on the suite's own result even when some of its tests failed too, or when it failed while nothing beneath it did (for example, a cancelled suite). Suites that failed only because a child failed, or because a parent's one-time setup failed, are not listed.
  • Save the XML when a suite failed, write <failure> with the message and stack trace on failed <test-suite> elements, and mark the XML run Failed when the root is Failed.
  • Move the skill's XML section to references/xml-results.md to keep SKILL.md under the 8,000-byte limit, and regenerate the skill copies.

Verification

  • The new tests failed first and pass after the change: uloop run-tests --filter-type regex --filter-value RunTests → 193 passed, 0 failed. Removing the fallback for suites with nothing failed beneath them makes the cancelled-run test fail.
  • End to end in the Editor (Unity 2022.3.62f3) with temporary fixtures, removed afterwards:
    • A fixture and a setup fixture whose OneTimeTearDown throws, each with a passing test: Status: Failed, Success: false, HasFailures: true, exit code 1, and both suites listed in FailedSuites with their messages and the throwing lines.
    • A fixture with a failing test whose OneTimeTearDown also throws, a setup fixture whose OneTimeTearDown throws above a fixture with a failing test, and a fixture whose OneTimeSetUp throws: each of the three suites listed exactly once with the throwing line, no ancestor suite listed, and the failing tests listed in FailedTests.
    • The XML carries each suite's message on its <test-suite> element.
  • check-skill-size, sync-tool-docs --check, the file length check, and the code complexity check pass locally.

Closes #3025
Closes #3026

Review in cubic

The skill said XmlPath is an empty string when no XML was saved, but
every response that saves none sends null: all producers pass null and
the response serializer keeps nulls. An agent that follows the docs and
checks for an empty string misses the no-XML case (#3025).
When a fixture's OneTimeTearDown throws, or a setup fixture's does,
Unity marks that suite Failed while its tests keep Passed. run-tests
judged the run from the tests alone, so it reported Status Passed and
Success true, dropped the exception message, and saved no XML (#3026).

- List the deepest Failed suite that has no failed child suite and no
  failed test in a new FailedSuites field, with its message and source
  location, and report the run as Failed with HasFailures true
- Save the XML for such a run, with a <failure> on the suite element
  and a Failed run result
- Move the skill's XML section to references/xml-results.md so
  SKILL.md stays under the 8,000-byte cap
…iled tests

The previous rule listed only the deepest Failed suite with no failed
child suite and no failed test. It dropped a fixture whose
OneTimeTearDown threw while one of its tests also failed, and a setup
fixture whose OneTimeTearDown threw above a failing fixture, so an agent
could not see the teardown error until the test failure was fixed.

- NUnit records a one-time setup or teardown error on the suite's own
  result state at the (SetUp) or (TearDown) site and rolls failures into
  ancestors at the (Child) site, so that site now decides.
- The old structural rule stays as the fallback for a Failed suite with
  neither site and nothing Failed beneath it, such as a cancelled one;
  without it a cancelled run whose executed tests all passed reports
  success.
- A OneTimeSetUp failure now lists the suite too. It is the only entry
  carrying the throw's file and line, since its tests only get
  "OneTimeSetUp: ..." messages.

The test fake now carries the result state strings Unity's NUnit
produces. The skill names OneTimeSetUp in the FailedSuites bullet and no
longer says a throwing fixture's tests stay passed; the generated copies
are regenerated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Run-tests now identifies suite-level failures, includes failed-suite details in its response, and saves NUnit XML when suite failures occur. The XML exporter includes suite failure messages and marks the overall result as failed when the root suite fails. The run-tests documentation describes these response and XML behaviors.

The converter collects suite failures, includes them in the serialized result, and treats them as run failures. The response exposes FailedSuites when details exist. Tests cover suite failures, response serialization, and response mapping. The skill documentation describes suite failures and nullable XmlPath.

The exporter adds a <failure> element for a failed suite with a message and marks the overall XML result as failed when the root suite fails. Tests cover suite XML output and XML saving. Reference documentation describes XML contents and response-list limits.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff23b

The documented XML filename may mislead readers looking for a saved result. Correct the references; this does not otherwise block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff23b

Suite failures become visible to test-run consumers without an identified new access path. An uncommon zero-test failure could still receive conflicting response and XML verdicts; whether that result shape occurs in production remains unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: If a failed suite has no counted leaf tests, the response classifies the run as NoTestsFound and says it is not a test failure, despite reporting failed suites and saving XML marked Failed. This conditional disagreement can obscure the failure for consumers that use Status or Message.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The additional diagnostics expand what existing run-tests consumers can read, but the inspected direct and pending-run paths use the existing response flow; no new endpoint or independently attackable identity boundary was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new suite detail reuses the existing failed-test detail type and optional JSON-field pattern. XML message and stack-trace values are assigned as text, not constructed as markup.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failed-suite response details are capped, and XML-save failure is handled without changing the completed run verdict. These controls do not resolve the conditional NoTestsFound-versus-Failed disagreement.

# run-tests XML result file

When a test or suite fails or a test ends inconclusive, run-tests saves NUnit XML results to `{project_root}/.uloop/outputs/TestResults/<timestamp>.xml` and returns the path in `XmlPath`. A run in which every test passed or was skipped saves no XML, and `XmlPath` is `null`.

Document the generated XML filename accurately.

NUnitXmlResultExporter.CreateResultFileName saves <timestamp>_<GUID>.xml. All three references instead show <timestamp>.xml, which can lead readers to look for a nonexistent file.
