🤖 Automated Major Version Review — APPROVED

Package: xunit.runner.visualstudio
Ecosystem: NuGet
Version change: 3.1.5 → 4.0.0 (major bump)

Research Summary

• Sources consulted:
  • https://github.com/xunit/visualstudio.xunit/releases — Release tag 4.0.0 confirmed stable release
  • https://github.com/xunit/visualstudio.xunit/blob/main/README.md — Confirmed "It can run tests from xUnit.net 1.9.2 and later" and "VSTest (all versions of xUnit.net)"
  • NuGet package nuspec for 4.0.0 — Deps: Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel 17.13.0 for net472; no extra deps for net8.0
  • GitHub Advisories search — No relevant advisories found for this package

Breaking Changes Analysis

The 4.0.0 release targets xUnit.net v3's Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP) as its primary mode, but explicitly retains VSTest compatibility for all xUnit.net versions including v1/v2. This repository uses xunit 2.9.3, which continues to be fully supported via VSTest. The CI build confirmed this — all tests passed after the update.

Security Check

No security advisories were found for xunit.runner.visualstudio in either the old or new version.

Decision

✅ This major version update is safe to merge. CI checks pass, the diff contains only version file changes (Directory.Packages.props), and the package explicitly supports xUnit.net v2 which this repository uses.

🤖 Automated Major Version Review — APPROVED

Approving the xunit.runner.visualstudio major version bump from 3.1.5 to 4.0.0.

Findings:

• Diff is clean — only Directory.Packages.props modified
• All CI checks passed (Build, Test, and Deploy; CodeQL; auto-approve workflows)
• The xunit.runner.visualstudio 4.0.0 package supports all versions of xUnit.net via VSTest (README states: "It can run tests from xUnit.net 1.9.2 and later"), so no breaking change for the repo's xUnit v2 usage
• No package dependencies changed other than the Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel version constraint
• No security advisories found for this package
