run unit test in .net framework 4.8 with command line

I recently created a unit test project(.net framework) in my project(.net framework 4.8).
I run my tests with visual studio enter image description here.
now wanna add a stage to my ci/cd on gitlab to run my tests.
I know how to do that in .net (dotnet test) but I don't know how to run my tests for .net framework with command line
I'll be happy to know your solutions.
Tnx

The VSTest.Console.exe tool can be used to run unit tests. This is equivalent to using the Visual Studio Test Explorer window.
VSTest.Console.exe is installed with Visual Studio. It is also available in the Microsoft.TestPlatform NuGet package.
(As a note for the benefit of users of Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps pipelines has a Visual Studio Test Platform Installer task that will install the test runner. The Azure DevOps task uses the NuGet package.)

For .net framework you should get familiar with MSBuild. If you are using MSTest you also need to know VSTestConsole. Not too hard!
Here is a minimal GitLab CI config for a .Net framework solution.

Can I use dotnet publish command to build .NET Framework applications?

I'm in the process of moving to .NET Core. In the mean time, I have two sets of apps - some using .NET Core 3.1 and the rest the full .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Also, I'm trying to make a build script to build all apps with one command.
But dotnet publish does not work for full .NET Framework projects.
How can I use dotnet publish command to build full .NET Framework applications?

dontnet commands only works for .NET Core projects, so It is working as intended!

Integration tests with XUnit and .NET Core 2.2 - Can't create WebApplicationFactory client

I make setup for integration tests in .net core 2.2 with xUnit. I have created CustomWebApplciationFactory as in documentation(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/test/integration-tests?view=aspnetcore-2.2).
Everything work fine till CreatingClient method:
Exception in setup
configuration class
FixtureClass

Running tests using NUnit3 Console

I'm trying to run tests via the command line using the NUnit Console Runner:
https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/Console-Runner
I have installed https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit.ConsoleRunner/ NUnit.ConsoleRunner in my NuGet
I have opened up the command line location in \sanitized\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1. I run my test using the command NUNIT3-CONSOLE myTests.dll as mentioned in https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/Console-Command-Line
But I get the error:
NUNIT3-CONSOLE: command not found
What command should I use?
Note: This is a .netcore application

NUnit Console is currently unavailable for .net core:
NUnit Console is compiled using the full .NET Framework and does not
currently support .NET Core. To run .NET Core tests from the command
line, you need to use dotnet test. For info on how to do this, see
https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/.NET-Core-and-.NET-Standard
We are looking at creating a .NET Core based console runner, but it is
still in the planning stages.

Just use dotnet test as described in nunit wiki.

Unit test UWP app with NUnit on VS2015

I spent far too much time trying to run a basic NUnit test on a Microsoft Store app. I installed NUnit v3.0.1 and NUnit3TestAdapter on VS2015 Pro but I get the following which confirms that the test is not discovered:
------ Discover test started ------
NUnit Adapter 3.0.8.0 discovering tests is started
Exception NUnit.Engine.NUnitEngineException, Exception thrown discovering tests in <project exe file>
The NUnit 3.0 driver does not support the portable version of NUnit. Use a platform specific runner.
NUnit Adapter 3.0.8.0 discovering test is finished
========== Discover test finished: 0 found (0:00:01.0639991) ==========
The NUnit.Engine.NUnitEngineException error referred to is not helpful because there is no way of exploring where the exception is in my program. The test is a single method with one Assert statement just to test if the setup works so there is nothing complicated. I also don't understand what a "platform specific runner" is. I installed both NUnit and NUnit3TestAdapter thru NuGet Package Manager and I presume installations for relevant platform and version are carried out.
I even tried out installing "NUnit Templates for Visual Studio". This allowed me to create an NUnit project, and interestingly the test within NUnit project is discovered and run. But the downside is that I cannot reference my UWP app project from the working NUnit project, I think because the NUnit project only supports .Net frameworks (up to 4.6.1) not Windows 10 platforms.
I have used NUnit before for non UWP applications without much trouble. Am I missing something or NUnit as yet doesn't support UWP apps?

At the moment you can only test DNX projects with XUnit.
Here is a nice starting point for that.
From the official Asp.Net 5 documentation (which uses the same infrastructure as UWP):
For example, to work with the xUnit test framework, you would
configure the dependencies as follows: [example project.json I dont
want to copy]
As other test frameworks release support for DNX, we
will link to them here.
Since there are no other frameworks linked in the documentation, I assume that there are none that support DNX projects at the moment.

Since this question was originally posted NUnit has developed it's support for testing UWP/Xamarin apps. Check out the nunit.xamarin runners.
Essentially, your tests should be created in either a portable library, or a shared project. This can then be referenced by a UWP project runner, which can be run on the emulator.
If you take the shared project approach, you can also reference this through an .NET 4.5 project, which will allow your tests to integrate with the NUnit VS adapter, and show up in VS. Portable libraries can not yet be run with this runner, however that's in the pipeline.
