XrmUnitTest copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from daryllabar/XrmUnitTest. It costs 1,140 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for building and testing XrmUnitTest, a C# unit-testing framework for Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Dataverse. It records required commands, supported .NET versions, configuration files, and known test issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on XrmUnitTest to run its .NET commands, handle Windows targeting, check required configuration files, and understand known warnings and failures.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project-specific steps needed to restore, build, test, and clean the code without missing platform requirements or expected failures.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is daryllabar/XrmUnitTest's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on XrmUnitTest itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything XrmUnitTest configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

XrmUnitTest copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

XrmUnitTest - Copilot Instructions

Overview

Unit testing framework for Microsoft Dynamics CRM/XRM and Dataverse with in-memory fake CRM server. ~324 MB, ~3,262 C# files, 14 projects. Multi-targeting: .NET Framework 4.6.2/4.7.2/4.8, .NET 6.0/8.0. Uses MSTest, dotnet CLI, AppVeyor CI.

Build & Test (CRITICAL: Use -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true on Linux/macOS)

Essential Commands

# Restore (20-25s)
dotnet restore XrmUnitTest.sln -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true

# Build (30-35s, expects ~531 nullability warnings)
dotnet build XrmUnitTest.sln -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true --configuration Debug

# Test (IdGeneratorTests will fail on Linux - expected, requires Windows Desktop)
dotnet test XrmUnitTest.sln -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true --configuration Debug --no-build

# Clean (2s)
dotnet clean XrmUnitTest.sln -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true

Critical Requirements

  • Test projects MUST have App.config or tests fail with: "Unit Test Project Must Contain an App.Config file..."
  • Config files (DO NOT commit credentials): UnitTestSettings.config, UnitTestSettings.user.config (gitignored), ExampleSecrets.json (Dataverse)
  • Known issues: NU1701 warnings on net6.0 (ignore), IdGeneratorTests fail on Linux (expected)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
