Running dotnet test will not show you any output, not from your test code and not from the adapter/engine.
It runs by default in quiet mode.
To get some output from the adapter, run it in normal mode, by setting the verbose option to normal
-v n
You still wont get anything out from your test code though. There are however different ways to go about it.
A good trick is to add a console logger:
dotnet test --logger "console;verbosity=normal" Note: You can configure the adapter through runsettings for different kind of outputs, using the ConsoleOut and the UseTestNameInConsoleOutput properties. See [NUnit runsettings](https://docs.nunit.org/articles/vs-test-adapter/Tips-And-Tricks.html#consoleout) for details.
See https://github.com/Microsoft/vstest/issues/799 for some discussion about it.
