Answer 1

Hi Vijay,

This blog should help you get started with configuring unit tests in the build http://geekswithblogs.net/jakob/archive/2009/06/03/tfs-team-build-2010-running-unit-tests.aspx

Answer 3

Hi Vijay,

You can ask the developers to run the unit tests from the vsmdi. This will first build the dev code and then run the tests.

You could also write a batch file which first calls msbuild to build the dev code and then calls mstest to run the tests. You can then ask the devs to run this batch file for generating the builds.

Thanks,

Anuj

Answer 5

Hi Vijay,

You can create a batch file which calls mstest (refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182489(v=vs.80).aspx )

You can then call this batch file in the post build event.

Thanks,

Add this to your the test project's post build event:

"$(DevEnvDir)mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"$(TargetPath)" /detail:errormessage

 

When ever you build it will display the test results in the build log.

Answer 7

Add this to your the test project's post build event:

"$(DevEnvDir)mstest.exe" /testcontainer:"$(TargetPath)" /detail:errormessage

 

When ever you build it will display the test results in the build log.

Be mindful to add the doube qoutes " as djs24356 has it. When it runs you will see error code 1 (if you have any failing tests) in your Error List, just switch over to the Output window to see the test results.

If you get error code 9009, ensure that you aren't missing any of the double qoutes, especially if your mstest.exe is in a path that has spaces.

To customise the display for the test results, you can see all the information for /detail in the link proposed by Anuj.

Thanks everyone, great suggestions.
