Unit testing is not stopping

Question

I created a couple basic methods and created TestProject. When I run test it is running for a long time and impossible to stop. I have to restart my Visual Studio(VS2010 Ultimate). Methods are very simple. 

public int Plus(int a, int b)

{

       return a+b;

}

Thanks

Answer 1

Where is the test method attribute. 

Anything logged in the event viewer?

Look at this walkthrough on how to create a unit test and run it http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182532.aspx

I Exactly follow this thing before, but it didn't work. Even I tried very sample code, it didn't work.

Answer 3

Hi dkcorp,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

For this problem, maybe there is something wrong with your Visual Studio or your machine's performance. You can monitor the Task Manager to see the memory or CPU usage of devenv.exe. 

If Devenv.exe takes too much memory and CPU,

you can shut up some other processes which are running at the same time to reduce  CPU  load then recreate  a new test project to run to see if it can reproduce the issue .

Or you can try to use Devenv.exe/SafeMode  in VS Command Prompt  to run the test to  prevent all third-party VSPackages from loading when Visual Studio starts, thus ensuring stable execution.

And you also check your VS setting which may cause some problems.

I hope this will be helpful to you. 

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi everyone,

I tried to reinstall my Visual Studio, but I still have that problem. When I click on run test it says pending and I have to restart Visual Studio to stop it. I am running Visual Studio on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Thanks for help!

Answer 6

Hi dkcorp,
Sorry for my delay.
Before you reinstall your Visual Studio, you need to make sure you have uninstalled Visual Studio completely. And you can check if you have installed the SP1. Also I would like to know if you have two or more Visual Studios on your computer. If so, it may cause some problems for example Visual Studio can’t load the project well.
If no helps, I think maybe there are something wrong with your operating system.
I hope this will be helpful to you.

Best regards,
Amanda

Hi dkcorp,

What you did to resolve this issue? I'm also facing the same issue(it says test in pending all the time, I had to restart my VS to stop it). Even I  have multiple visual studios(VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012) installed on my machine. 

Thanks,

Sunil

Hi Sunil Kumar Reddy,

I had Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I deleted Visual Studio 2012 and it was working fine. Problem was to have multiple "Visual Studio"s on my machine.

I hope this helps.

Answer 11

After spending a whole day trying out various solutions, this is the one....

Just keep one version of VS on your machine if your Unit Tests are getting stuck in the Pending state.

Problem Solved!

Thanks,

Answer 12

Woah woah wait a second - everybody simply accepts that as the answer? What if you actually need Visual Studio 2012? You have to have two installation of Windows just to be able to run two versions of Visual Studio? The sh*t we put up with... I'm speechless.

Answer 13

Hi FrodeNilsen2,
I think it was two month ago, I had Visual Studio 2010 Pro and Visual Studio 2012 RC Ultimate. I couldn't run my tests because I had two different kind of Visual Studio installed. Now I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Visual Studio 2012 Premium. I can run my tests easily.

Thanks,

Answer 14

Ok dkcorp, but I had the problem myself. I run VS 2010 Ultimate and VS 2012 RC Express. My solution was to install NCrunch, an alternate MSTest test runner. It works, but it shouldn't be necessary to rely on a third party, in my opinion.

Answer 15

Hi FrodeNilsen2,

I apologize if I didn't understand you correctly, I didn't have any problems running nUnit tests on that time. I had problem with MSTest test runner.
