💡 Result:
- Minimum requirement (VSTest /
dotnet test --logger GitHubActions): Your test project should referenceMicrosoft.NET.Test.Sdk>= 16.8.0; older versions may not work correctly with custom loggers likeGitHubActionsTestLogger. [1] - Works with current 17.x (including 17.14.x):
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdkcontinues to be compatible broadly, but note the runner’s own .NET targeting changes below. [2] - If your test project targets
net6.0: VS Test 17.14 moved to newer .NET versions; guidance is to pinMicrosoft.NET.Test.Sdkto 17.13.0 (or upgrade the test project tonet8.0+). [3] - If you’re using Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) instead of VSTest: Newer
GitHubActionsTestLoggerversions advertise support for both VSTest and MTP. [4] (Historically, MTP didn’t parse--loggerthe same way, which is why older setups could fail.) [5]

GitHubActionsTestLogger PrivateAssets all recommended test project
💡 Result:
For GitHubActionsTestLogger, the recommended way to reference it from a test project is to mark it as test-only so it doesn’t flow transitively to other projects/packages:
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="GitHubActionsTestLogger" Version="3.0.1" PrivateAssets="all" />
</ItemGroup>NuGet’s own snippet for this package also uses <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets> (and sometimes an explicit IncludeAssets list) for the same reason: keep the logger available to the test project, but prevent it from becoming a transitive dependency of anything that references the test project. [1]
If you follow NuGet’s “full” form (as shown on older version pages), it looks like this:
<PackageReference Include="GitHubActionsTestLogger" Version="2.3.0">
<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
<IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>That IncludeAssets is not redundant because it can exclude assets like compile (even when PrivateAssets=all). [2]
Source(s): NuGet package page for GitHubActionsTestLogger (shows the recommended PackageReference, including PrivateAssets and sometimes IncludeAssets) [1]; explanation of PrivateAssets vs IncludeAssets behavior [2].

Add PrivateAssets="all" to isolate test logger from transitive dependencies.
The package reference should be updated to prevent the logger from flowing transitively:
