Hi

I am trying to get Unit Tests running as part of the daily build. I have setup the test lists and added them to the Team Build. The Unit Tests run correctly locally, however when I go to run the Build I get the following error

MSBUILD : warning : Failed to instantiate type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebStress.WebTestRunConfig, Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.LoadTest, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a': Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.LoadTest' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Now VSTS SDE is installed on the Build server and I thought this was all that was needed to automate the Unit Tests, is this assumption correct? It looks to me like it's trying to load other testing dll's around testing and not finding them? Is there someway to stop this so it only runs the unit tests? I don't want to have to install VSTS Test on the build server if it's not necessary?

Any help appreciated.

Andy.

Andy,

I think you might be a victim of a bug in MSBuild. It has a problem retrieving dependancies of dependancies. There is more information about it on this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=198219&SiteID=1. It seems the Visual Studio IDE doesn't have an issue finding dependancies of dependancies but MSBuild does.

Hi Guys

Thanks for your replies.

I actually installed the team suite testing tools so I could create the Test lists to work with TFS Build. Is there a way I can remove the reference so it only uses the unit test functionality?
