XML nodes are created with empty xmlns if a namespace is not explicitly set as parameter

[adimosh]

When creating a merged file, we get:

  <Results xmlns="...">
  </Results>

Instead, it should either be:

  <Results>
  </Results>

...or:

  <Results xmlns="http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010">
  </Results>

...for the default configuration.

If I specify a namespace, it works correctly, but if not, then it appends an empty namespace, thus breaking XSL validation.

Hi @adimosh ,

Thanks for reporting this. Will report back soon.
Can you share some example of two files that merged we get this issue?

Hi @ricardofslp,

I'm also seeing this issue. I am running dotnet test --test-modules "path-to-dlls/*Test.exe" --report-trx --results-directory "./TestResults", which ends up with a few dozen .trx files.

It shouldn't matter, but I am doing this with the .NET 10 SDK and using Microsoft Testing Platform as the test runner.

After using dotnet trx-merge, the merged .trx file will not open in Visual Studio's Test Results window. The output window shows this error:

(Line: 4, Position: 4). XSD violation: The element 'TestRun' in namespace 'http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010' has invalid child element 'Results'. List of possible elements expected: 'TestRunConfiguration, TestSettings, ResultSummary, Times, TestDefinitions, TestLists, TestEntries, Results, UserData, Build' in namespace 'http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010'.

If I manually edit the merged file and remove the four xmlns="" occurrences, the file opens fine. I've attached two .trx files you can merge to re-create this (note that I had to add .xml on the end, GitHub wouldn't let me upload with the .trx extension).

Also, trx-merge is outputting these warnings:

  Could not find runUser attribute in file .\trx1.trx. Defaulting to UnknownRunUser
  Could not find runUser attribute in file .\trx2.trx. Defaulting to UnknownRunUser

These .trx files are being produced by dotnet test, so they're valid. I shouldn't see this warning. Please remove the warning, provide a parameter to suppress it, or provide a parameter to define the runUser used when the attribute isn't found.

trx1.trx.xml
trx2.trx.xml

Thanks for the input will take a look

Hi both,

Please try this version: https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotnet-trx-merge/2.2.0

Thanks, this version is working great for me! Thank you for changing the runUser warning, too.
