Implements a new analyzer FlowTestContextCancellationTokenAnalyzer (MSTEST0047) that detects when async operations in tests should use TestContext.CancellationTokenSource.Token for proper cooperative cancellation and timeout handling.

What this analyzer detects

❌ Before (triggers MSTEST0047)

[TestClass]
public class MyTests
{
    public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }

    [TestMethod]
    public async Task MyTest()
    {
        await Task.Delay(1000);                              // Missing CancellationToken
        await Task.Delay(1000, CancellationToken.None);     // Using CancellationToken.None
        await httpClient.GetAsync(url);                      // Missing CancellationToken
    }
}

✅ After (code fix applied)

[TestClass]
public class MyTests
{
    public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }

    [TestMethod]
    public async Task MyTest()
    {
        await Task.Delay(1000, TestContext.CancellationTokenSource.Token);
        await Task.Delay(1000, TestContext.CancellationTokenSource.Token);
        await httpClient.GetAsync(url, TestContext.CancellationTokenSource.Token);
    }
}

Features

  • Detects common async patterns: Task.Delay(), HttpClient methods, Stream operations, File operations, DbCommand methods
  • Handles problematic tokens: Suggests replacing CancellationToken.None and default(CancellationToken) with proper TestContext token
  • Works in all test contexts: TestMethod, TestInitialize/Cleanup, ClassInitialize/Cleanup, AssemblyInitialize/Cleanup
  • Automatic code fixes: Adds TestContext.CancellationTokenSource.Token parameter or replaces existing problematic tokens
  • Batch fix support: Can fix multiple occurrences at once

Benefits

  1. Proper test timeout handling: Tests respect [Timeout] attributes and can be canceled cooperatively
  2. Better resource management: Async operations are canceled when tests are aborted
  3. Consistent patterns: Encourages proper async/await practices in test code
  4. Developer productivity: Automatic fixes reduce manual effort

Implementation details

  • Diagnostic ID: MSTEST0047
  • Category: Usage
  • Severity: Info (suggestion level)
  • Localization: Full support for all 13 languages
  • Public API: Added to unshipped API files
  • Tests: Comprehensive unit test coverage for all scenarios

The analyzer follows the pattern established by existing MSTest analyzers and integrates seamlessly with the analyzer infrastructure.

Fixes #5878.

Don't go with a list of known APIs, instead use a similar logic as in https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-analyzers/blob/714a51c57430dab50b67e5b468016288f5f7b0bd/src/NetAnalyzers/Core/Microsoft.NetCore.A...

Replaced the hardcoded API list with dynamic overload detection logic similar to the referenced Roslyn analyzer. Removed the IsCommonAsyncMethod method and now rely entirely on IsCompatibleOverloadWithCancellationToken to find methods that have overloads accepting CancellationToken parameters. This approach is more flexible and comprehensive. Commit: 4cd5603
