  • Add comparer detection for MSTest equality assertions with TODO comments when comparers are used
  • Fix xUnit assertion conversion (syntax tree reference issue that was preventing conversions)
  • Fix await expression spacing in converted assertions (awaitAssert.Thatawait Assert.That)
  • Fix TODO comment trivia handling with proper indentation preservation
  • Add syntax-based fallback for MSTest assertion detection for robustness
  • Add comprehensive tests for format strings and comparers

Test plan

  • Run MSTest migration tests - all 23 pass
  • Run xUnit migration tests - all 39 pass (1 skipped for assembly attributes)
  • Run full analyzer test suite - all 419 pass (1 skipped)

Summary

Enhances MSTest and xUnit migration code fixers with format string message support, comparer detection, await expression spacing fix, trivia handling improvements, and syntax-based fallback for robustness.

Critical Issues

None found ✅

Suggestions

1. Package Downgrade Needs Justification

The PR downgrades xunit.v3.assert and xunit.v3.extensibility.core from 3.2.1 to 3.0.1:

-    <PackageVersion Include="xunit.v3.assert" Version="3.2.1" />
-    <PackageVersion Include="xunit.v3.extensibility.core" Version="3.2.1" />
+    <PackageVersion Include="xunit.v3.assert" Version="3.0.1" />
+    <PackageVersion Include="xunit.v3.extensibility.core" Version="3.0.1" />

Question: What's the reason for this downgrade? Is this intentional or accidental? If intentional, it would be helpful to document why in the PR description or commit message.

2. Empty Catch Block in Semantic Analysis Fallback

In MSTestMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:186-200, there's an empty catch block:

try
{
    isFrameworkAssertionViaSemantic = IsFrameworkAssertion(invocation);
}
catch
{
    // Semantic analysis failed, fall back to syntax-based detection
}

Suggestion: While the fallback approach is good for robustness, consider:

  • Catching only specific expected exceptions (e.g., ArgumentException, InvalidOperationException) rather than all exceptions
  • Or logging/tracing unexpected exceptions in debug builds to help identify issues during development

This pattern is repeated in IsLikelyComparerArgumentSafe - same suggestion applies there.

3. Comparer Detection May Incorrectly Pass Comparer to .Because()

According to the test MSTest_Assertions_With_Comparer_PassedAsBecause, when semantic analysis fails to detect a comparer variable, it gets passed to .Because():

var comparer = StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase;
Assert.AreEqual("hello", "HELLO", comparer);
// Becomes:
await Assert.That("HELLO").IsEqualTo("hello").Because(comparer);

This will result in incorrect runtime behavior (passing an IEqualityComparer to a string message parameter). While the test comment acknowledges this limitation, consider:

  • Adding a syntax-based heuristic (e.g., if the 3rd arg is named *comparer*, treat it as a comparer)
  • Or ensuring the TODO comment is always added when the 3rd parameter type cannot be determined

Verdict

APPROVE - No critical issues

The changes improve the migration code fixers with good fallback behavior and format string support. The suggestions are minor improvements around package versioning, exception handling, and edge case handling.

Downgrading xunit.v3.assert and xunit.v3.extensibility.core from version 3.2.1 to 3.0.1 may cause issues if other parts of the codebase depend on features or bug fixes introduced in the newer versions. Consider documenting why this downgrade is necessary, or investigate whether the xUnit migration can work with version 3.2.1.

The test expects the comparer to be passed to .Because(comparer), but the Because() method only accepts a string parameter, not an object. This will cause a compilation error in the converted code. The comparer should either be converted to a string representation or handled differently (e.g., with a TODO comment indicating manual intervention is needed).

Suggested change
await Assert.That("HELLO").IsEqualTo("hello").Because(comparer);
await Assert.That("HELLO").IsEqualTo("hello").Because(comparer.ToString());

When semantic analysis fails to detect that the third argument is a comparer, the code falls through to treat it as a message (line 348-352), which results in passing the comparer expression directly to .Because(). This will cause a compilation error since .Because() only accepts strings. The fallback behavior should still add a TODO comment when the type cannot be determined, or convert the expression to .ToString() to at least make it compile.

Suggested change
var (msg, fmtArgs) = ExtractMessageWithFormatArgs(arguments, 2);

Using a bare catch block without any exception handling or logging swallows all exceptions, including programming errors like NullReferenceException, ArgumentException, etc. This makes debugging extremely difficult when semantic analysis encounters unexpected errors. Consider catching specific exceptions (e.g., InvalidOperationException, ArgumentException) or at minimum logging the exception before treating it as a "not a comparer" case.

Same issue as in ConvertAreEqual: when semantic analysis fails to detect that the third argument is a comparer, the code falls through to treat it as a message (lines 421-425), which results in passing the comparer expression directly to .Because(). This will cause a compilation error since .Because() only accepts strings.

Changes Summary

This PR enhances MSTest and xUnit migration code fixers in TUnit by adding format string message support (converting Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual, "msg {0}", args) to .Because(string.Format(...))) and improving assertion conversion robustness through syntax-based fallback detection and proper TODO comment trivia handling.

Type: feature

Components Affected: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers, MSTest migration code fixer, xUnit migration code fixer, Assertion rewriter base class, Test coverage

Files Changed

....Analyzers.Tests/XUnitMigrationAnalyzerTests.cs Added 5 comprehensive test cases covering Equal, Matches, DoesNotMatch, Collection, and ProperSubset/SuperSet conversions with TODO comments ✏️ 🟢
Architecture Impact
  • New Patterns: Robust fallback detection for assertions (semantic + syntax-based), Format string message extraction and wrapping, Comparer detection with semantic analysis, Graceful trivia handling for generated TODO comments
  • Dependencies: downgraded: xunit.v3.assert from 3.2.1 to 3.0.1, downgraded: xunit.v3.extensibility.core from 3.2.1 to 3.0.1
  • Coupling: AssertionRewriter base class now has additional helper methods (ExtractMessageWithFormatArgs, CreateMessageExpression, IsLikelyComparerArgument, CreateTodoComment) that are used by both MSTest and xUnit concrete implementations, increasing shared functionality.

Risk Areas: Semantic analysis fallback for comparer detection may fail silently on incomplete compilations, causing format string arguments to be misinterpreted as comparers, xUnit dependency downgrade (3.2.1 → 3.0.1) for xunit.v3.assert and xunit.v3.extensibility.core may introduce compatibility issues or revert recent fixes, TODO comment trivia handling in VisitInvocationExpression uses complex indentation logic that could break with non-standard code formatting, Format string argument handling assumes positional format placeholders and may not handle named placeholders correctly, Comparer detection relies on type name matching (IComparer, IEqualityComparer) which could have false positives if custom types use similar names

Suggestions
  • Add explicit tests for edge cases: empty format strings, null comparers, mixed semantic/syntax detection scenarios
  • Document rationale for xUnit version downgrade - ensure it's intentional and doesn't revert critical fixes
  • Consider adding logging/diagnostics for when comparer detection falls back to syntax-based detection
  • Add test coverage for the trivia indentation logic with various source formatting styles
  • Add null-safety checks if semantic analysis fails in IsLikelyComparerArgumentSafe

Description:
Catch block catches all exceptions during semantic analysis but provides no logging or context about what operation failed. This masks errors and makes debugging difficult.

Suggestion:
Either log the exception with context (operation name, relevant details), rethrow it wrapped with additional context, or document exactly why the exception is intentionally ignored.

🟠 HIGH - Early return in foreach loop may skip other attributes

Agent: bugs

Category: bug

File: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/MSTestMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:165

Description: When 'ClassInitialize' or 'ClassCleanup' attribute is found, the code returns immediately with only the converted attribute. If the original AttributeList contained multiple attributes (e.g., [ClassInitialize, TestCategory(...)]), the other attributes would be lost.

Suggestion: Collect all converted attributes first (converting ClassInitialize/ClassCleanup and preserving others), then return a new AttributeList with all of them.

🟡 MEDIUM - Inconsistent null handling for ArgumentList parameter

Agent: bugs

Category: quality

File: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/XUnitMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:995-997

Description: Lines 995-997 pass attr.ArgumentList directly to SyntaxFactory.Attribute() without null checking, while line 1002 uses null-coalescing. SyntaxFactory.Attribute accepts null for argumentList (it's optional), so this is technically safe but inconsistent. The pattern difference may indicate oversight.

Suggestion: For consistency, apply null-coalescing pattern to lines 995-997: attr.ArgumentList ?? SyntaxFactory.AttributeArgumentList(), matching line 1002.

🟡 MEDIUM - Unsafe null-forgiving operator without validation

Agent: csharp

Category: bug

File: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/XUnitMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:147

Description: Uses null-forgiving operator on GetTypeInfo().Type! without null check. In edge cases (e.g., syntax errors, unresolved types), Type could be null causing NullReferenceException.

Suggestion: Add explicit null check: var type = semanticModel.GetTypeInfo(implicitObjectCreationExpressionSyntax).Type; if (type == null) continue; else use type.ToDisplayString().

🟡 MEDIUM - GetSimpleName can return null.ToString() causing NRE

Agent: csharp

Category: bug

File: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/XUnitMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:318-328

Description: The while loop exits when name is null (if not QualifiedNameSyntax), then calls name.ToString() causing NullReferenceException. The pattern assumes Name is either SimpleNameSyntax or QualifiedNameSyntax, but other NameSyntax types exist (AliasQualifiedNameSyntax).

Suggestion: Add null check after the loop: if (name is null) return string.Empty; or use a safer pattern matching approach.

- Revert unintentional xunit package downgrades from 3.0.1 back to 3.2.1
- Fix empty catch blocks to catch specific exceptions (InvalidOperationException, ArgumentException)
- Change IsLikelyComparerArgument to return bool? to properly handle unknown types
- Add error type detection to avoid treating unresolved types as non-comparers
- Add named argument detection for more robust message/comparer disambiguation
- Add interpolated string detection as message indicator
- Update NUnit and xUnit code fixers to handle nullable comparer detection
- Update test to expect TODO comment when type can't be determined

Summary

Improves MSTest, NUnit, and xUnit migration code fixers with better handling of format string messages, comparer detection, syntax tree references, and trivia/whitespace preservation.

Critical Issues

None found

Suggestions

1. Performance - Allocations in Trivia Handling

Location: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/Base/AssertionRewriter.cs:~30

The trivia handling creates multiple intermediate lists for every assertion conversion. While migration is not a hot path, the trivia list building could be more efficient given TUnit performance-first principles. Consider using SyntaxTriviaList.Insert or building the list more directly.

2. Exception Handling Breadth

Location: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/MSTestMigrationCodeFixProvider.cs:~192

The code catches broad exception types (InvalidOperationException, ArgumentException) from semantic analysis. While this defensive programming is appropriate for code fixers, documenting the specific scenarios where these exceptions are expected would be helpful.

3. String Type Detection Redundancy

Location: TUnit.Analyzers.CodeFixers/Base/AssertionRewriter.cs:~215

If typeInfo.Type.SpecialType == SpecialType.System_String is true, the typeName checks are unnecessary. Consider simplifying to just the SpecialType check.

4. Minor - Directory.Packages.props Newline Change

The PR removes the trailing newline from Directory.Packages.props. Consider whether this change is intentional.

Verdict

APPROVE - No critical issues

The PR successfully addresses important migration scenarios and fixes real bugs (xUnit syntax tree reference, await spacing). The exception handling is appropriate for code fixer robustness, and the test coverage is comprehensive.
