Cause

A violation of this rule occurs when an async test method returns void.

Reason for rule

Support for async void test methods has been removed in xUnit.net v3. This rule will only trigger for v3 projects.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, change the test method return type to Task or ValueTask.

Examples

Violates

csharp
using Xunit;

public class TestClass
{
    [Fact]
    public async void TestMethod()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Does not violate

csharp
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xunit;

public class TestClass
{
    [Fact]
    public async Task TestMethod()
    {
        // ...
    }
}
csharp
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xunit;

public class TestClass
{
    [Fact]
    public async ValueTask TestMethod()
    {
        // ...
    }
}
