TestCaseFilterInvalidFormatBugRepro

This repository contains a minimal NUnit test project with a single test that Visual Studio 16.2.0's Test Explorer won't be able to execute.

When the test is run in Visual Studio 16.2.0 Test Explorer

Trying to run the test will result in the following error (visible in the Output window when Show output from is set to Tests):

[26 Jul 2019 2:03:17.427 PM Error] An exception occurred while invoking executor 'executor://nunit3testexecutor/': Incorrect format for TestCaseFilter Error: Invalid Condition 'FullyQualifiedName=Tests.Test => True'. Specify the correct format and try again. Note that the incorrect format can lead to no test getting executed.
[26 Jul 2019 2:03:17.498 PM Informational] ========== Run finished: 0 tests run (0:00:01,1892526) ==========

The problem appears to be caused by the way how the arguments produced by the test case source (LINQ expression trees in this case here) are formatted as strings: see here.

When run on the console using vstest.console

Works fine:
