Skill instructions
PTVS Glass Tests When to Use Use this skill when setting up, running, debugging, or investigating CI failures for PTVS Glass tests. Glass tests exercise Visual Studio debugger behavior, including mixed-mode Python/native scenarios, and require Microsoft-internal drops for the Glass runner. Link to existing human-facing documentation instead of duplicating it. Start with Python/Tests/GlassTests/readme.txt, which links the internal Concord Glass docs and presentation. Key Files - Build/setupglass.py: downloads drop.exe, Glass, NuGet tools, and vstest drops; extracts VSIX payloads; copies PTVS debugger bits; discovers installed Python versions; generates .GlassTestProps files; verifies the test listing. - Build/runglass.py: calls copyptvsoutput(), verifies the runtime test root, and invokes vstest.console.exe with /Parallel and TRX logging. - Build/templates/runtests.yml: installs Python versions, restores or populates the GlassTests cache, acquires the Azure DevOps token, runs setup, run
