dotnet run --project developer-cli -- test [--self-contained-system <name>] [--filter <expr>] [--no-build] [--exclude-category <cat>] --quiet
Use developer-cli exactly as written - do not expand to an absolute worktree path.
Backend only - there is no frontend test runner.
--self-contained-system <name>- narrows to one SCS (e.g.account,main)--filter <expr>- forwarded todotnet test --filterto scope to a subset of tests--no-build- skip rebuild before running (faster after a recent build)--exclude-category <cat>- defaults toNoisy; pass an empty string to include them
No arguments runs every test across every SCS.
After build succeeds, run format, lint, test in parallel with --no-build.
Examples
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- test --quiet # all tests
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- test --self-contained-system account --quiet # one SCS
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~LoginTests" --quiet # filter by name
dotnet run --project developer-cli -- test --no-build --quiet # after a recent build
Always pass --quiet
Verbose output goes to a log file. On success the CLI prints a one-line summary (totals + duration); on failure it lists the failed test names plus the log path - read the log if you need stack traces. Without --quiet every test result streams into the conversation.
