📋 PR Review: Embedded Polyfill Attributes Support

✅ Overall Assessment: Approve with Minor Improvements

This PR implements a solid solution to prevent type conflicts when using Polyfill attributes across multiple projects. The implementation follows MSBuild best practices and addresses a legitimate issue.


Code Quality & Implementation

Excellent approach overall:

  1. Proper MSBuild Property Hierarchy: Uses conditional logic to allow user overrides while providing sensible defaults
  2. Consistent Pattern: Applied across multiple build files (Polyfill.targets, Roslyn.props, TUnit.Core.*)
  3. Good Documentation: Clear explanation with override examples in installation.md
  4. Follows Standards: Implements the recommended Polyfill consuming pattern

⚠️ Issues Found

1. Property Setting Logic Needs Clarification (Minor)

In TUnit.Core/TUnit.Core.targets:13:

<PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute Condition="'$(EnableTUnitPolyfills)' != 'false' and '$(_TUnitNeedsPolyfill)' == 'true'">true</PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute>

This condition is more restrictive than the one in TUnit.Core.props:40:

<PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute Condition="'$(PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute)' == ''">true</PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute>

Issue: The .targets version (which executes after .props) could potentially override user settings, creating confusion about precedence.

Recommendation: Ensure the .targets version also checks if the property is already set:

<PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute Condition="'$(PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute)' == '' and '$(EnableTUnitPolyfills)' != 'false' and '$(_TUnitNeedsPolyfill)' == 'true'">true</PolyUseEmbeddedAttribute>

🧪 Test Coverage Gap (Medium Priority)

Missing Integration Tests: The feature lacks verification tests for the main scenarios where this prevents issues:

  1. Multi-project solutions with InternalsVisibleTo
  2. Central Package Management (CPM) scenarios
  3. Framework targeting (.NET Framework vs .NET Standard)
  4. User override behavior verification

Suggestion: Add integration tests covering these scenarios to ensure the property is correctly applied.


Performance Considerations

✅ Positive Impact:

  • No runtime performance impact (build-time only)
  • Prevents type conflicts that could cause compilation errors
  • Improves build reliability

🔒 Security Assessment

✅ No security concerns:

  • Only affects build configuration
  • No external dependencies introduced
  • No sensitive data exposed

📚 Documentation Quality

✅ Well documented in installation.md:

  • Clear explanation of the feature's purpose
  • Good override examples
  • References the official Polyfill consuming pattern

Minor suggestion: Consider adding version information (when this behavior was introduced).


🎯 Specific Code Comments

File: TUnit.Core/TUnit.Core.targets

  • Line 13: Consider adding condition to check if property is already set (see issue Repeat attributes  #1 above)

File: docs/docs/getting-started/installation.md

  • Line 128-130: Excellent documentation with clear override instructions

Files: Polyfill.targets, Roslyn.props

  • Clean, consistent implementation of the property setting

📋 Action Items

Before Merge:

  1. Fix property logic: Add condition to prevent override of user-set values in .targets file
  2. Add integration tests: Cover main conflict scenarios (multi-project, CPM, etc.)

Future Enhancements:

  • Consider adding informational build message when property is auto-set
  • Add version info to documentation

🏆 Summary

This is a well-designed solution that addresses a real problem with a standards-compliant approach. The implementation is clean, follows MSBuild best practices, and includes good documentation.

Key Strengths:

  • Solves legitimate type conflict issues
  • Clean, consistent MSBuild implementation
  • Clear documentation with override instructions
  • Follows recommended Polyfill patterns

Ready for merge once the property logic is clarified and basic integration tests are added.
