VsTest Code Coverage is not published as artifact

Type: Bug
Task name: VSTest

Environment

Server: Azure Pipelines
Account name, team project name, build definition name/build number: Can be provided on demand. I do not want to share business information here.

Agent: Private

Agent variable	Value

Issue Description

I have a Visual Studio Test task in my build pipeline:

steps:
- task: VSTest@2
  displayName: 'Unit test solution'
  inputs:
    testAssemblyVer2: |
     **\*UnitTests.dll
     !**\obj\**
    vsTestVersion: toolsInstaller
    codeCoverageEnabled: true

As you can see, Code Coverage is enabled. In the logs I can see that the .coverage file is generated, but it is never published in the artifact for the pipeline, nor is it parsed by the pipeline (there is no "code coverage" tab visible in the finished pipeline).

This is somewhat related to #11677 but not excatly the same.

Task logs

Debug log. I have edited out business critical information:

UnitTestDebugOutput.txt

From this log it certainly looks like the .coverage file is published, but it still does not appear inside the "1 published; 1 consumed" artifacts, and the "code coverage" tab is not visible (and it still only says "Setup code coverage" instead of displaying the actual results).
It actually looks like it's trying to publish a different file location than what has been generated. These two does not match:

Type	Path
Generated	C:\VSTSAgent_work_temp\TestResults\f811a5af-f624-44d2-806d-5dd8eef7154f\BuildServerName$_BuildServerName_2021-05-03.12_54_19.coverage
To be published	C:\VSTSAgent_work_temp\TestResults\BuildServerName$_BuildServerName_2021-05-03_12_54_27\In\BuildServerName\BuildServerName$_BuildServerName_2021-05-03.12_54_19.coverage

You can resolve this in two ways:

First, directly with DotNetCoreCLI task:

  - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
    displayName: 'DotNetCoreCLI Test with report (.coverage format)'
    inputs:
      command: test
      projects: '**/**.Tests.csproj' # if multiple test projects are to be executed, create a dirs.proj and use it here. That will ensure the tests are executed in parallel
      arguments: '--collect "Code Coverage" '
      publishTestResults: true

Or without publishTestResults: true, but using PublishCodeCoverageResults. You can check here an example: microsoft/vstest#981 (comment)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm running .NET Framework, not .NET Core
