Debug when using XUnit and TestExplorer

Question

I have some projects.
Where I use TestExplorer and Xunit.

These are not my own development.

But I need to develop code that passes the tests.

How can I put a debug.writeline, breakpoint or watch. In the code.
The test explorer seems to block all my usual debug methods

Answer 1

Right click on test project on Solution explorer and press "Debug tests" https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xIdCh9-Z-B5gEvn3BUteFjoinMW89tgv

Answer 2

What do you mean by "I can't follow the program flow"? Step by step execution?

Answer 3

Do you have button as on my screenshot? It allows to use breakpoints. I don't know about vs 2017. But it works in 2019 version.

Answer 4

That's test explorer, but I mentioned solution explorer panel. Try on solution explorer

Answer 5

Yes. I did understand that.

I like to add my own debug statement to the test.
I can run the test but I can't follow the program flow.

Can I do that with something like a debug.writeline or assert.

Answer 6

I use visual studio 2017.
And take the projects from https://exercism.io/

These projects come with test cases and some projects-files to get you started.

I can run the tests, but I do not know how to do step by step execution since the tests run all at once.

Also I am unable to add debug-statements to my code.

The only way I can see some is process flow is by setting variables.
