Exclude your test projects from publishing to prevent size issues and inefficiencies with your modules. You can exclude test projects in the following ways:Remove from solution release configuration
In your IDE, open the solution configuration and remove the test project from the release configuration. They should not be enabled for build. Examples for Visual Studio and Rider below:
