Build VS2010 solution on Team Build 2008 - MSTest failed to run

Answer 1

A:

I have the same problem : MSTest executes all tests fine, publishes the results to TFS, and then... fails.

Using "TestToolsTask" task from assembly "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.MSBuildTasks.dll".
Task "TestToolsTask"
  Command:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe /nologo /runconfig:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Sources\Src\LocalTestRunWithCoverage.testsettings" /searchpathroot:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug" /resultsfileroot:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\TestResults" /testcontainer:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug\\FairfaxDigital.Core.Tests.dll" /testcontainer:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug\\FairfaxDigital.SimpleContent.Tests.dll" /testcontainer:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug\\FairfaxDigital.Web-Framework.Tests.dll" /testcontainer:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug\\FairfaxDigital.Web.Mvc.Tests.dll" /testcontainer:"D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\Binaries\Debug\\FairfaxDigital.Web.Tests.dll" /publish:"http://mtfssyd01:8080/" /publishbuild:"vstfs:///Build/Build/3199" /teamproject:"CommonPlatform" /platform:"Any CPU" /flavor:"Debug"  
  The "TestToolsTask" task is using "MSTest.exe" from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe".

      The "TestToolsTask" task is using "MSTest.exe" from "MSTest.exe".
    MSBUILD : warning MSB6003: The specified task executable "MSTest.exe" could not be run. The system cannot find the file specified [D:\Source\CommonPlatform\Common Platform Development CI Build\BuildType\TFSBuild.proj]
      The previous error was converted to a warning because the task was called with ContinueOnError=true.
      Build continuing because "ContinueOnError" on the task "TestToolsTask" is set to "true".
    Done executing task "TestToolsTask" -- FAILED.

The only thing of interest is that the TestToolsTask comes from the VS2008 path (see the first line of the log snippet), while everything else comes from the VS2010 path. Has anyone else seen this problem, and come up with a solution to it? It's infuriating not being able to have successful tests when they all pass!

UPDATE: this is building a VS2010/.NET 4 solution on Team Build 2008.

Answer 2

A:

OK, I've found the source of the problem. The TeamBuild targets file (C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets) has a wrong value - replace the following:

    <UsingTask TaskName="TestToolsTask" 
AssemblyFile="$(MSTestRefPath)\Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.MSBuildTasks.dll" 
Condition="'$(ProjectFileVersion)' == '2'" />

(the last UsingTask at line 82 if you haven't edited the file already) with:

    <UsingTask TaskName="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Tasks.TestToolsTask" 
AssemblyFile="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.ProcessComponents.dll" 
Condition=" '$(ProjectFileVersion)' == '2' "/>

This fixed it for me, and now my build lights are all green.

We have a second build server with a different failure, this was the answer to solve it ^^ But the first build server still has this weird symptom.
