It was the changeover that they seemed to all (well, mostly) break. Xunit
doesn't work the same way as MSBuild or NUnit so any tests that require
test-case initialization and tear-down would fail. With some extensibility I
was able to put that behavior back, for the most part. Nearly finished.
The really, super annoying thing has been having to walk around xunit's sticks
in the sand, regarding user messages for Asserts (or lack thereof) and that
even those Asserts that support user messages don't support params parameters
like String.Format, so I have to add that in everywhere to maintain the
existing behavior.
All tests but WixTests are building and almost all of those are passing.
I also took the opportunity with the extensibility to skip tests that are
runtime tests when runtime tests aren't enabled rather than fail, skip runtime
tests that require elevation (the assumed default - tests can declare
themselves NonPrivileged), and skip tents that are 64-bit specific when not
running under a 64-bit process. These are effectively trait attributes, and
will be proper TraitAttribute-derivatives once Xunit 2.0 releases (or I can now
if we want to take a pre-rely, doesn't really change much, though).
Since I had to define a custom attribute anyway, I renamed NamedFact to
TestMethodAttribute, and added traits PriorityAttribute, DescriptionAttribute,
RuntimeTestAttribute, and Is64BitSpecificTestAttribute.
I'll have a pull request in a day or two. All that's left in the WixTests
project is wrapping a bunch of user messages in String.Format. I have 167
instances to fix up yet where regex-based replacement may not be of much help.
I'm considering options for automation, including Roslyn at least to help
automate the changes.

I don’t know when they “all broke”, but I do know I had tests failing when I
was trying to validate changes I had submitted. Some of them had to do with
case sensitivity of paths, but I can’t remember the others. I do think at one
point in time I had made an attempt to fix it, but with the changeover in
testing frameworks I never submitted a pull request.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Test overhaul
I've nearly got the fully xunit-based test system working again. I felt it
important to get it working again whilst checking in all the new code, some of
which are new tests. I was able to keep some of the same behavior, like
something similar to TestInitialize and TestCleanup attributed methods. Once
xunit 2.0 releases (I've got some TODOs in the code as reminders) I can beef it
up more, but xunit's current extensibility gave me some new options. Just
trying to get the TestDataDirectory working, which points to
%WIX_ROOT%\tests\data without relying on the environment variable.
Perhaps this is more directed at Rob or Bob, but I'm curious if there were any
tests failing before they all broke. I recall that some of the burn tests were
failing and we turned them off in the internal fork, but all the tests in
WixTest.dll are working.
