From 41a1f4285d4ade2f7f53c38ce420d76b5ce2a622 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Peppers Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 09:47:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [tests] Marshal Thread exception in DoNotLeakWeakReferences Under stock NUnit 3 (after the dotnet test migration), an unhandled NUnit AssertionException thrown from inside a raw 'new Thread (...)' body becomes an unhandled exception on the .NET runtime side, which SIGABRTs the whole process. The instrumentation host then never gets a Finish() call and 'dotnet test' reports 'Zero tests ran' for the entire run -- masking the real failure (Assert #2 inside the worker) and taking out every other test in the assembly with it. Capture exceptions from the worker thread in a local, then rethrow on the test thread after Join() so an Assert failure (or any other exception) becomes a normal NUnit test failure instead of a process abort.

Before ac812972e, mode #2 escaped from new Thread() and SIGABRT'd the process (manifesting as 'Zero tests ran' for the whole lane); the marshal-exception fix now surfaces it as a real test failure, which is why we suddenly see it. Runtime.GetSurfacedObjects() is process-global: NUnit/MTP per-test infrastructure (TestExecutionContext, listeners, Console capture) allocates and releases Java.Lang.Object peers around every test, so the count drifts by a few entries between snapshots. Observed drift across recent builds is in the range -3..+1; allow +/-5 tolerance which is plenty tight to still detect a real leak (which would dwarf this) while removing the noise.
