Catastrophic failure: System.ArgumentException: Argument was empty (Parameter 'settings.SerializedTestCases')

[gieniowski]

When running dotnet test --filter aaaa (filter should not have match in any test name) I have following errror:

Catastrophic failure: System.ArgumentException: Argument was empty (Parameter 'settings.SerializedTestCases')
   at Xunit.Internal.Guard.ArgumentNotNullOrEmpty[T](T argValue, String argName)
   at Xunit.Runner.v3.Xunit3.Run(IMessageSink messageSink, FrontControllerRunSettings settings)

I am using these packages in the test project:

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="17.11.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="3.0.0-pre.30">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <PackageReference Include="xunit.v3" Version="0.3.0-pre.18" />

Here's my os and dotnet version:

Starting test execution, please wait...
A total of 1 test files matched the specified pattern.
No test matches the given testcase filter `aaaa` in C:\Dev\xunit\visualstudio\test\test.v3\bin\Debug\net472\test.v3.exe

The logic is unconditional, so it'll apply to all of v1/v2/v3.
