Reqnroll v3.1 released with xUnit v3 support and other improvements

Sep 29, 2025

We are happy to announce the release of Reqnroll v3.1. This release focuses on improving test framework compatibility, fixing bugs, and making the overall experience smoother.

This is a minor update following our major v3.0 release, but it includes some important new features and improvements.

Key highlights of v3.1

New Features

xUnit v3 support: You can now use Reqnroll with the latest xUnit v3. To get started, use the new Reqnroll.xunit.v3 package.
Improved parallel execution control: The addNonParallelizableMarkerForTags feature now works with scenario-level tags for NUnit, MsTest V2, and TUnit.
Option to disable friendly test names: A new generator/disableFriendlyTestNames setting in reqnroll.json allows you to turn off friendly test method names, which can help with compatibility with tools like VSTest retry.

Improvements

Verify v29+ support: The Reqnroll.Verify plugin now supports Verify v29 and later.
Updated dependencies: We’ve updated to Cucumber Gherkin v35, Cucumber Messages v29, and Cucumber CompatibilityKit v23.
Optimized MSBuild generation: The Reqnroll.Tools.MsBuild.Generation NuGet package is now smaller and more efficient.

Bug Fixes

This release also includes several bug fixes related to formatters, plugin hooks, and the dry-run mode.
