GitHub isn't allowing me to add a comment on the specific line. But on line 43, there is a mention of CsvDataSource. I'm not aware of such attribute 😄
We only have DataSourceAttribute which can be set to use Csv. A sample for using Csv is https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/blob/b1edce21fa74ac0444f92355d230a498196a3382/test/IntegrationTests/MSTest.Acceptance.IntegrationTests/DataSourceTests.cs, which is a bit involved.

I think we can suggest it, but not all repos use MTP and mstest.sdk is still not nicely supported in VS because of the nuget tooling, so I would not default to it.
