docs: correct MTP single-test filter syntax in CLAUDE.md - #183
Merged
Conversation
The documented `-- -method` / `-- -class` flags are rejected by the xUnit v3 runner (3.2.2) used by all four repos: the run exits with code 5 and zero tests executed. The working Microsoft Testing Platform flags are `--filter-method` and `--filter-class`. Verified in MMCA.Helpdesk against the architecture test project: `-- --filter-class "*ModuleIsolationTests*"` runs 6 tests and passes, while `-- -class "*ModuleIsolationTests*"` exits 5 with 0 tests run. Docs-only change. The workspace root CLAUDE.md carries the same fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Corrects the single-test filter syntax documented in
CLAUDE.md.-- -method "*Pattern*"-- --filter-method "*Pattern*"-- -class "*Pattern*"-- --filter-class "*Pattern*"Why
The documented flags are rejected by the xUnit v3 runner (3.2.2) that all four repos use under Microsoft Testing Platform. The run does not error loudly: it exits with code 5 having executed zero tests, which reads as "nothing matched my filter" rather than "my flag was wrong".
Verified in MMCA.Helpdesk against the architecture test project:
