$project.TestPlans is missing in powershell?

Question

Using VS2010, in C#, I get a ITestManagementService project, and execute project.TestPlans.Query("SELECT * FROM TestPlan"));

However, in powershell $project.TestPlans is null.  What am I doing wrong?

thx!

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client")

[psobject] $tfs = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServerFactory]::GetServer($tfsServerUri)
[psobject] $tms = $tfs.GetService([Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.ITestManagementService]);
[psobject] $project = $tms.GetTeamProject($tfsProjectName)
[psobject] $testplans = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.ITestManagementTeamProject]$project.TestPlans

Hello,

I have the same problem.

Answer 3

Same problem here.  

Answer 4

I belive you need to explicitly load some assemblies. Try Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.

Answer 5

Folks,

This is happening because of following bug in powershell.

And as mentioned in the above bug, you can use reflection or the Get-Interface method to access it.

Here is the poweshell snippet I used to make it work.

[Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.ITestManagementTeamProject] $tcmProject = $tcmService.GetTeamProject($projectName);

$testPlansProperty = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client.ITestManagementTeamProject].GetProperty("TestPlans").GetGetMethod();
$testPlans = $testPlansProperty.Invoke($tcmProject, "instance,public", $null, $null, $null);
