Add SuppressSourceLocation to BaseTestAttribute for library-declared tests#6578
Conversation

When set to true, source file path and line number are cleared to empty/0, preventing library-declared tests from exposing the library author's file paths. Updated source generator and reflection engine to respect the new property. Co-authored-by: thomhurst <30480171+thomhurst@users.noreply.github.com>

Library-shipped test classes (used via
[InheritsTests]) embed the library author's local file paths into test metadata via[CallerFilePath]. These paths are meaningless to consumers and pollute the binary.Changes
BaseTestAttribute: Addedbool SuppressSourceLocationproperty (defaultfalse)TestMetadataGenerator): BothGetTestMethodSourceLocationoverloads return empty location when the property is set via named argumentReflectionTestDataCollector):ExtractFilePath/ExtractLineNumberreturn empty/0 when suppressedUsage
Consumers inheriting this test will see no source location rather than a path to a file on the library author's machine.
