This is a utility VS extension that can be used to test the invocation threading patterns for VS components. Specifically the NuGet components.
To use it, simply restore/build, and either launch the experimental instance or install the extension in your VisualStudio installation. To open the window go to, View -> Other Windows - IVS Testing Extension. It allows you to select a project and pass arguments in a kvp form. See an example in src\Tests\TestMethodProvider.cs
Then you can invoke the method by clicking Run/RunAsync depending on the threading pattern. (Run for sync, RunAsync for async obviously :) ) The possible threading patterns are defined in: src\ThreadAffinity.cs. What they do is straightforward, you can play with it more by looking at ProjectCommandTestingModel.
namespace IVsTestingExtension
{
public enum ThreadAffinity
{
ASYNC_FROM_UI,
ASYNC_FROM_BACKGROUND,
ASYNC_FREETHREADED_CHECK,
SYNC_JTF_RUN,
SYNC_JTF_RUNASYNC_FIRE_FORGET,
SYNC_TASKRUN_UNAWAITED,
SYNC_TASKRUN_BLOCKING,
}
}If you want add you own method instead, you only need to change 1 file, and that's src\Tests\TestMethodProvider. The infrastructure autowires the Provider and calls the GetMethod call to get the method that you want to test.
