Test Run Aborted.

The active Test Run was aborted because the host process exited unexpectedly. Please inspect the call stack above, if available, to get more information about where the exception originated from.
The test running when the crash occurred: 
System.Net.Security.Tests.SslStreamAlertsTest.SslStream_StreamToStream_HandshakeAlert_Ok

This test may, or may not be the source of the crash.

The log says that the run was aborted because the test host process crashed but after that it says that the inactivity time has elapsed. I'm unsure if this means that the test process crashed because of a test crash or because a test hang.

AB#1583163

I tried to tell to vstest.console that blame datacollector is killing the testhost, but I could not find a good way of wiring this together. This probably needs more love.

In NuGet.Client team we use dotnet test --blame-hang and xUnit longRunningTestSeconds setting to enable long-running (hung) test detection. If any tests is running longer than time specified, xUnit will display the test as [Long Running Test] in the log followed by dotnet blame log.

@kartheekp-ms How does that relate to this issue?

@ViktorHofer - The title of the issue says Hard to distinguish between a test host crash because of a hang or an actual crash. I agree with that. I thought using xUnit longRunningTestSeconds setting will help because it adds additional information [Long Running Test] to the test name before hang/crash dump was collected.

I think it would be best if VSTest itself logs all the information that is useful to identify a hanging test and not rely on an adapter's feature for that.

This needs additional synchronization with datacollector. What happens is that as soon as we kill testhost the on exit event is triggered, but vstest.console does not know that there is something killing the testhost on purpose, so it just reports a crash, and then blame data collector sends a message saying it killed testhost.
