MSTest crash during a build in TFS 2008 SP1

Question

I've never managed to make MsTest works during the build of my solution on TFS. When I look the build log, I see this that TFS want to execute MsTest :

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /nologo /searchpathroot:"C:\BinaryRoot\TFSBuild" /resultsfileroot:"C:\TestResults\" /testmetadata:"C:\Build\MySolution\Full.vsmdi" /testlist:"WorkingTest" ...

But the build don't create any test result file. I tried to launch this line manually on the build server but MsTest crash after this :

Loading C:\Build\MySolution\Full.vsmdi...

  Search path(s) for tests:
  C:\Build\MySolution\Binaries\TFSBuild
  C:\Build\MySolution
  Search path(s) for default run configuration:
  C:\Build\MySolution

I don't see any problem with the path, my file testrunconfig is under C:\Build\MySolution. My tests can run on my machine (VS 2008 vsts). I've got the same problem with another build machine.

The event viewer, shows me two errors :

NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3082 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035FC0) (80131506)

and

Faulting application mstest.exe, version 9.0.30729.1, stamp 488f21a6, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.3082, stamp 492b82c1, debug? 0, fault address 0x001c5fc0.

Does someone has an idea about this issue, or should I just switch to another test framework/CI server ? :(

Answer 1

I have the exact same problem with Hudson CI, so I don't think this is related to your CI server.

Still searching for a solution though...

Answer 2

There is a hotfix for the same error signature, different conditions but it could be the same underlying cause - give this a try.
