How to specify .runsettings file in MSTest commandline?

Question

I am following guidelines from MSDN - Configure unit tests by using a .runsettings file.

I have created Default.runsettings in my solution, since I use a script to run my tests, I need to specify the settings file in MSTest.exe commandline.

However, according to MSDN Doc, I have option /testsettings, but this is to specify a .testsettings file which is the old way as described in the first page I linked.

How to specify a .runsettings file for MSTest command line? Thanks

Mstest.exe is the old way to run tests from the command line. You should be using vstest.console.exe.

VSTest.Console.Exe takes a /Settings:[ file name ] command line argument which should be a .runsettings file.
