UWP MSTest does not work

I have an issue to automate unit tests. I created a Unit Test Project (with the template for Universal Windows Platform) and I written my test methods. I can execute my tests from the test explorer window by clicking "Execute all" button. But my issue appears when I try to execute my tests with MSTest from command line. The command returns "No test to execute."

Here is the command I use:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /resultsfile:"C:\UnitTests\Results.trx" /testcontainer:C:\UnitTestProject\bin\x86\Release\UnitTestProject.exe /nologo

Thanks

Samuel

There is a detailed guide to running UWP Unit tests from command line here - Running Universal Windows unit tests from the command line . The problem is that you UWP EXE files cannot be run directly as usual Windows apps, but run in a sandbox, which means you use the APPX package to first deploy and install the test app and then run the actual tests.
