TestContext.Progress not visible in test output

[cocowalla]

I'm trying to use TestContext.Progress.WriteLine("my message") in tests (using Xamarin.UITest, if it matters), but TestContext.Progress output doesn't appear when running tests in Visual Studio or Rider.

In Visual Studio, I tried running tests using both the ReSharper test runner and Visual Studio's built-in one, but got the same result - no output in the test output window.

If I run tests from the command line (dotnet test), then TestContext.Progress appears as it is generated, as expected.

Note that TestContext.Out and TestContext.Error work in all cases as expected.

csproj snippet:

<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
...
<PackageReference Include="nunit" Version="3.12.0" />
<PackageReference Include="NUnit3TestAdapter" Version="3.15.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.UITest" Version="3.0.3" />

If you look in the Output window , don't you see this:

Also please look at this issue: #621

Ach, you're right, it is displayed there in VS. Annoyingly, I'm sure I've made this mistake before!

It really isn't displayed in Rider though - it seems there's some secret-squirrel way to enable it, but you need to start Rider in "internal mode" to make the setting available.

Thanks for the comment on Rider. I'll see if we can reach out to them about it.
