I run into the same issue public void Cancel() is not called when pressing the stop button on Test Explorer But on console it shows ========== Test run aborted: 1 Tests (1 Passed, 0 Failed, 0 Skipped) run in < 1 ms ==========

[nohwnd]

This is by-design (or rather: too late to change it now).

You're not serious now, are you?

The ITestExecutor is an official interface and should be supported by default! https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/blob/main/src/Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel/Adapter/Interfaces/ITestExecutor.cs

The answer is probably below par ...

[nohwnd]

I am not, this was done to keep the interactive experience in VS responsive. When abort is pressed everything tears down as fast as possible.

The problem is that if a test hangs for some unknown reason, it must be possible to cancel the test execution. Otherwise, this would mean I would have to close and reopen the IDE to solve the problem, which is very inconvenient.
