I am using Visual Studio 2015 with xUnit 2 with the Visual Studio test runner. I have this sample project that exhibits the following problem:
If I return string, Task<string> or MyObject from a method, the test appears in Test Explorer normally.
However, if I return Task<MyObject>, the test appears under an "External" category instead, and doesn't run when I click "Run Tests" in the editor.
What could be causing this? I've found two Stack Overflow questions that sound similar, but they don't seem to apply:
- This question suggests generating PDB files, but I am already generating them.
- This question is nearly the same, but seems to be for ASP.NET Core, which I am not using
Below is the information from Visual Studio's "About" page.
