I got this after converting my csproj to vs2019 format and running dotnet test. The solution was to ensure i had the right test adapter and framework. My csproj files had both the old Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework reference and the new MSTest.TestAdapter + MSTest.TestFramework + Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk. I kept the new ones and my tests were run.
