Cannot run unit tests for an application developed with Compact Framework for Windows CE 6.0 platform

Question

I'm developing a solution for Windows CE 6.0 using GuD_AtomKit X86 Device emulator. I'm not able to run any unit tests, because I get following error message:

The test adapter ('Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestTypes.Unit.UnitTestAdapter, Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Tips.UnitTest.Adapter, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a') required to execute this test could not be loaded. Check that the test adapter is installed properly. Exception of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.SmartDevice.TestHostAdapter.DeviceAgent.TestAlreadyRunningException' was thrown.

But there's no unit test running on the device.

I would really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

Did you change the target device in your testrunconfig file? Running against the target device is definitely supported.

You also might have to manually deploy the CF to the device as the Unit Test framework doesn't auto-deploy it.
