Goal and Rationale

TestContextPropertyUsageAnalyzer (MSTEST0048) had 10 tests but two distinct guard paths in its AnalyzePropertyReference method were completely untested:

Untested path Guard
Non-TestContext type with restricted property names SymbolEqualityComparer.Default.Equals(propertyReference.Property.ContainingType, testContextSymbol)
context.ContainingSymbol tracing through lambdas How ContainingSymbol resolves inside a lambda body

Approach

Two focused tests were added:

WhenNonTestContextTypeWithSamePropertyNamesAccessedInFixtureMethods_NoDiagnostic
Creates a FakeContext class with properties named TestData, TestName, TestDisplayName, and FullyQualifiedTestClassName — same names as restricted TestContext properties — then accesses them inside [AssemblyInitialize] and [ClassInitialize]. No diagnostic expected; confirms the SymbolEqualityComparer guard correctly filters out non-TestContext property references.

WhenRestrictedTestContextPropertyAccessedInLambdaInsideAssemblyInitialize_Diagnostic
Accesses testContext.TestName and testContext.TestData inside a lambda defined within [AssemblyInitialize]. The test confirms the analyzer fires diagnostics here because context.ContainingSymbol for operations inside a lambda resolves to the enclosing named method (not the lambda's anonymous function), so the [AssemblyInitialize] attribute is still visible. This is correct behavior: the lambda will be invoked during assembly initialization, where these properties are unavailable.

…T0048)

Add 2 new tests targeting untested guard paths in the analyzer:

1. WhenNonTestContextTypeWithSamePropertyNamesAccessedInFixtureMethods_NoDiagnostic
   - A custom class with properties named TestData, TestName, TestDisplayName,
     FullyQualifiedTestClassName should NOT trigger the diagnostic.
   - Directly tests the SymbolEqualityComparer.Default.Equals guard that checks
     the property's containing type is actually TestContext.

2. WhenRestrictedTestContextPropertyAccessedInLambdaInsideAssemblyInitialize_Diagnostic
   - Accessing TestName/TestData inside a lambda within [AssemblyInitialize] DOES
     fire the diagnostic because context.ContainingSymbol for operations inside a
     lambda refers to the enclosing named method (not the lambda's anonymous method).
   - Confirms the analyzer correctly flags lambda-captured TestContext accesses.

10/10 tests pass.

Pull request overview

Adds two new unit tests to improve coverage for TestContextPropertyUsageAnalyzer (MSTEST0048), targeting previously untested guard paths around symbol/type filtering and lambda containment.

Changes:

  • Added a test ensuring non-TestContext types with restricted property names do not produce diagnostics in fixture methods.
  • Added a test intended to validate diagnostics when restricted TestContext properties are accessed inside a lambda within [AssemblyInitialize].
