[BUG]: ##[error]Error occurred while publishing test results : System.Exception: No tests were discovered while attempting to rerun failed tests. This is likely to happen if these tests are xunit or nunit datadriven/parameterized tests or tests with custom display names with spaces or special characters which are not supported with rerun. Please reach out to us at https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues if you are hitting this for tests other than the ones mentioned before.
