TFSPreview: NUnit and MOQ Projects Fail Build

Question

HI,

I've tried several way to build some projects in TFSPreview that have NUnit and MOQ.

The assembly references are not found.

I had redone the projects to have the assembly folders for NUnit included and stripped out the MOQ for now and reset ref to the upload assembly in the solution path.

It still fails to build. 

How to we use thrid party tools with TFSPreview to build. 

Any details on how to do?

Or is this even possible to do??

Thanks

Ron

Answer 1

You need to add the reference through nuget. 

This is needed to make it work:

Right click on the Solution in Solution Explorer
Click on “Enable NuGet Package Restore”
Click “Yes” when prompted
The blog has a lot more information so have a look for a complete fix with explanations

I think I have installed NUnit and updated the build controller to look at the NUnit assemblies, but get this error from the build:

    Other Errors and Warnings
     0 error(s), 1 warning(s)
     No test is available in C:\a\bin\My.Tests.dll. Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors,   platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.

Inside of VS2012 the tests run fine with the builtin test runner and I have even setup things so they get run after each build.

I just can't seem to make this to build on your cloud build server.  It builds all my assemblies and copies the NUNIT and other assemblies to the c:\a\bin\ directory just fine.

Can you please tell me how to diagnose this?

Answer 4

I am getting the same error.  

No test is available in C:\a\bin\AMTests.dll. Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors, platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.

I am using NUNIT and deploying my files to the TFS build server.  I would like the NUNIT tests to be run after the build is complete. 

Any update on this issue?

Thanks!

Tom

I have the same issue.. Have you found any resolution to the problem. I have installed the NUnit adapter and pointed to assemblies in Source Control but Team Build still does not locate the NUnit tests. Same message as above:

...........Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors, platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.

Thanks.

Hi AlanEasyPower,

I had the same issue with following message when running Team Build using Visual Studio 2012

Other Errors and Warnings

     0 error(s), 1 warning(s)
     No test is available in C:\a\bin\My.Tests.dll. Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors,   platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.

Managed to resolve it in a very simple way. I updated my Build Server Visual Studio with the latest updates including the Extensions updates. After installing all updates all worked perfectly including NUnit and Moq. However, for Moq to work you still need to add the reference through Nuget which is pretty easy really.
