Updated Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk from 17.12.0 to 17.14.1.

Release notes

Sourced from Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk's releases.

17.14.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: microsoft/vstest@v17.14.0...v17.14.1

17.14.0

What's Changed

.NET versions updated

This version of VS Test upgraded .NET to net8 and net9. All projects targeting net6.0 (or other end-of-life .NET target frameworks) should pin their version of Microsoft.NET.Test.SDK to 17.13.0, or update the projects to net8 or newer. We remain backwards compatible with previous versions of Microsoft.NET.Test.SDK. This change does NOT prevent you from:

  • Updating to the latest VS, and running tests from net6.0 test projects.
  • Updating to the latest .NET SDK, and running tests from net6.0 test projects.

It also has no impact on .NET Framework projects, where we continue targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2.

Pull Request Review - Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk Upgrade

Summary

This PR upgrades Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk from 17.12.0 to 17.14.1, along with its transitive dependencies (Microsoft.CodeCoverage and Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost).


Architecture & Patterns ✅

  • No changes - This is a dependency-only update with no code modifications
  • Layer dependencies remain intact

Compatibility Analysis ✅

Project Configuration:

  • Project targets .NET 10 (from global.json)
  • Uses xUnit v3 (version 3.2.1) for testing

Version 17.14.x Changes (from release notes):

  • Upgraded to target .NET 8 and .NET 9 (dropped .NET 6 support)
  • .NET Framework 4.6.2 support maintained
  • Backward compatible with previous Microsoft.NET.Test.SDK versions
  • No impact on running tests from newer .NET versions (.NET 10)

Verdict:Compatible - The SDK upgrade supports .NET 8+ which includes .NET 10.

Transitive Dependency Updates ✅

All version bumps are minor/patch level and part of the coordinated release:

Package Old Version New Version
Microsoft.CodeCoverage 17.12.0 17.14.1
Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost 17.12.0 17.14.1
Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel 17.12.0 17.14.1
Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1 13.0.3

The Newtonsoft.Json bump (13.0.1 → 13.0.3) is a patch update for bug fixes.

Notable Improvements in 17.14.1

From the release notes:

  • ✅ Error on unsupported target frameworks (prevents silently not running tests)
  • ✅ Improved .NET 9 support for UWP/WinUI projects
  • ✅ Long-path awareness (#5179)
  • ✅ Bug fixes and stability improvements

Security ✅

  • No secrets or sensitive data in dependency updates
  • All dependencies are from official Microsoft NuGet packages

Testing Impact ✅

  • No changes to test conventions (xUnit v3 + Shouldly patterns unaffected)
  • Existing test commands remain unchanged:
    • dotnet test --configuration Release --verbosity normal
    • dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"

Recommendation

✅ APPROVED - This is a safe dependency upgrade that:

  1. Maintains backward compatibility with the project's .NET 10 target
  2. Includes bug fixes and improvements
  3. Follows Dependabot's automated testing
  4. Aligns with the project's centralized package management strategy (Directory.Packages.props)

The upgrade should be merged after CI validation passes.

Looks like Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk is no longer updatable, so this is no longer needed.
