Migrate Mstest V3 To V4

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: testing  ·  Last updated:
Fix build errors and breaking changes after upgrading MSTest from v3 to v4, or plan a complete MSTest v3-to-v4 migration. Use when user says "upgrade to MSTest v4", "MSTest 4 migration", "MSTest v4 breaking changes", "tests don't compile after upgrading MSTest", or has errors CS0507, CS0103, CS1061, CS1615 after updating MSTest packages from 3.x to 4.x. USE FOR: Execute to ExecuteAsync, CallerInfo constructor on TestMethodAttribute, sealed custom attributes, ClassCleanupBehavior removal, TestContext.Properties Contains to ContainsKey, Assert.ThrowsException to ThrowsExactly, Assert.IsInstanceOfType out parameter removal, ExpectedExceptionAttribute removal, TestTimeout enum removal, [TestMethod("name")] to DisplayName syntax, TreatDiscoveryWarningsAsErrors, TestContext.TestName in ClassInitialize, MSTest.Sdk MTP changes, dropped TFMs (net6.0/net7.0 to net8.0+). DO NOT USE FOR: migrating from MSTest v1/v2 to v3 (use migrate-mstest-v1v2-to-v3 first), migrating between test frameworks, or general .NET upgrades.

From the source SKILL.md

Migrate a test project from MSTest v3 to MSTest v4. The outcome is a project using MSTest v4 that builds cleanly, passes tests, and accounts for every source-incompatible and behavioral change. MSTest v4 is not binary compatible with MSTest v3 -- any library compiled against v3 must be recompiled against v4.

What this skill does

Migrate Mstest V3 To V4 is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/migrate-mstest-v3-to-v4/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when user says "upgrade to MSTest v4", "MSTest 4 migration", "MSTest v4 breaking changes", "tests don't compile after upgrading MSTest", or has errors CS0507, CS0103, CS1061, CS1615 after updating MSTest packages from 3.x to 4.
