I’m using FB 8.0.0.3127

- Add a **dotnet Test** action to the build script.
- Specify a value for its **Results directory** field
- Run the build.
- FinalBuilder constructs a `dotnet test` command line that contains the `--results-directory` switch but it doesn’t put the expected value afterwards so the build fails

Here’s a sample command line, from the build log:

`Command Line : test T:\Development\FB17249-032\AutoBuild\..\EmailHelper\EmailHelperUnitTests\EmailHelperUnitTests.csproj --test-adapter-path \\kutana.local\dev\NuGet\Repository\xunitxml.testlogger\3.0.70 --configuration xunit;LogFilePath=TestOutput\Results.xml --output T:\Development\FB17249-032\AutoBuild\..\EmailHelper\UnitTestBin --results-directory`

and here’s the error message:

`Required argument missing for option: --results-directory`

If the **Results directory** field is blank then the `--results-directory` switch is omitted from the dotnet test command line and the build succeeds.
