Follow up: update to newer Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk once https://github.com/Microsoft/vstest/issues/373 is fixed

See #23253

@tmat I'm still not getting source locations in unittest stacktraces (as shown below), even after the workaround you checked in. I'm using Version 15.6.0 Preview 2.0 [27213.2.d15.6].

Adding note to document current workaround to display line numbers in stacktraces:

1. Install 4.7.2
2. Modify "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config" to add the AppContextSwitchOverrides flag:

  <runtime>
     <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Diagnostics.IgnorePortablePDBsInStackTraces=false" />
  </runtime>
 
  <connectionStrings>
    ...

@tmat Where does the plan stand (short-term and long-term) to avoid this pain?

At this point I think we should follow up with XUnit, NUnit and mstest to add this flag to their respective App.config files.

I'm not sure where we're at with this issue. microsoft/vstest#373 was closed.
While working on Roslyn, I've not experienced the problem in a while, but that may be due to a workaround that Tomas put in place.

@tmat Could you confirm the current status and update the issue title accordingly? Or maybe this can be closed now? Thanks

There are still issues with the latest test SDK. We need to stay on the custom package for now. E.g. microsoft/vstest#1764, microsoft/vstest#1907, microsoft/vstest#792
