Fix: dotnet test falls back to VSTest in a Linux CI pipeline even though the project uses Microsoft.Testing.Platform

dotnet test picks its runner from global.json found by walking up from the working directory. On Linux CI it falls back to VSTest when that file is missing, misnamed, has a mis-cased key, or the SDK is older than 10.

Migrate from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform on the .NET 11 SDK

A step-by-step migration from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.3: the OutputType Exe opt-in, the global.json runner switch, loggers becoming reporters, .runsettings becoming testconfig.json, and the exit codes that turn a green CI job red.

Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3: --report-gh Puts Test Failures on the PR Diff

The .NET blog's August 6, 2026 post on MTP reporting surfaces a batch of extensions that went stable in Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.0: GitHub Actions annotations, crash-resilient TRX streaming, and Azure DevOps flaky history.

NuGet API Keys Get a 30-Day Cap on August 17, and Every Old Key Expires November 1

NuGet.org drops the 365-day API key option on August 17, 2026, caps new keys at 30 days, and expires every key created before that date on November 1. Here is what breaks and how to move a publish workflow to OIDC trusted publishing.

How to Auto-Fix a Failing GitHub Action with Fix with Copilot

When a GitHub Actions job goes red, the Fix with Copilot button hands the failure to the Copilot cloud agent: it reads the logs, pushes a fix to your branch, and tags you for review. Here is where the button lives, the May 18 / June 4 2026 rollout, the Approve and run workflows gotcha that stalls re-runs, how billing works per session, and when to reach for the REST API instead.

How to Trigger a GitHub Copilot Coding Agent Task from the Agent Tasks REST API

POST a prompt to /agents/repos/{owner}/{repo}/tasks and Copilot's cloud agent spins up, writes code, and opens a PR. Here is the exact request, the X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2026-03-10 header, the user-to-server token gotcha that breaks GitHub App installs, a polling loop over the eight task states, and a fan-out script that dispatches the same migration across many repos.

Independently Releasing Multiple NuGet Packages with MinVer + Trusted Publishing

One repo, three NuGet packages, independent versions. Per-package MinVer tag prefixes, a tag-driven GitHub Actions release that publishes via OIDC trusted publishing (no API key), pinning a cross-package dependency to a real version, and the default-branch gotcha that silently swallows your first tag.
