Should MTP support RunSettingsFilePath MSBuild property in addition to the --settings command-line option?

[Youssef1313]

Currently, to pass a runsettings file to MTP, you need to use --setings. With VSTest, an MSBuild property RunSettingsFilePath was supported.

Do we want to support RunSettingsFilePath MSBuild property in MTP as well?

In all cases, a doc update to the following is required:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/configure-unit-tests-by-using-a-dot-runsettings-file?view=vs-2022#set-a-build-property
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/configure-unit-tests-by-using-a-dot-runsettings-file?view=vs-2022#specify-a-run-settings-file-from-the-command-line

This imho opens it up for having a different runsettings file per project, I would be careful with that. We have that feature in vstest and it leads to confusion which settings can and cannot be applied to the run, and it forces us to run 1 vstest.console per test project to be able to consider these runsettings.

I would also vote for no.
