tcm run /publish error "Root element is missing"

Question

Hi,

I am trying to publish one of my test suite in trx  file.

tcm run /publish /suiteid:203 /configid:6 /resultowner:"umesh.singh" /resultsfile:"c:\temp\TestPublish.trx"  /collection:http://bemeche1tfs01:8080/tfs/defaultcollection /teamproject:Development

Here, I have blank "TestPublish.trx" file.

I am assuming that we can publish test result which already there in MTM into ".trx" file.

Can anyone one please let me know if I am doing something wrong or my understading itself is wrong?

Thanks in advance guys.

Answer 1

What is you realy trying to accomplish ? The TCM /publish will try to publish the test results in your trx file to your test plan.

If you want to export your test results in MTM to a file , you shoudl use the tcm run /export command, please refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff942469.aspx

Hi Mattias,

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I wanted to publish the test result as a seperate trx file. I it should create file with test result.

You are right. I am suppose to use export.

Thanks,
