What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the submission and monitoring of .NET MAUI unit tests on Helix infrastructure from your local environment, reducing manual setup and follow-up work across multiple test queues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Submit tests to Helix: Push MAUI unit test projects to distributed Helix queues for parallel execution.
  • Monitor tests and retrieve results: Track job progress and fetch logs to speed up debugging.
  • Use Case: A developer wants to validate changes to MAUI's XAML or core libraries across Windows and macOS queues without performing local, repetitive test runs.

Quick Start

  1. Ensure the .NET SDK is installed and the dotnet cake tool is available as described in prerequisites.
  2. Submit tests: pwsh .github/skills/run-helix-tests/scripts/Submit-HelixTests.ps1
  3. Monitor a job: pwsh .github/skills/run-helix-tests/scripts/Get-HelixJobStatus.ps1 -JobId <JOB_ID> -Wait
  4. Review logs for failures: pwsh .github/skills/run-helix-tests/scripts/Get-HelixWorkItemLog.ps1 -JobId <JOB_ID> -FailedOnly
