localtestrun.testrunconfig closes when i click on code coverage

Question

 

I am trying to enable code coverage.  I have VSTS Developer edition installed. I am able to create unit test cases and performance sessions, but when i click on testrunconfig, to configure the code coverage, the window closes automatically if i select the code coverage tab. When i select the other tabs in the testrunconfig, it remain open.

Answer 1

Which VS version are you using? If that's VS2005, do you have SP1 installed? Could you provide more specific steps to reproduct this? Can you reproduct this in a new jsut created test project?

 

Thanks,

Michael

Answer 2

Hi,

 

I'm using VS2005 and my operating system is Windows server 2003. I have installed VSTS Developer edition and team explorer. Do i need to install SP1 of VS2005 or Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1. I'm not able to configure the code coverage, everything else is working fine.

Answer 3

I think there is a version conflict on ur Installtion. I have also faced some issues with improper setup.

The Soluition is to overwrite the QualityTools DLLs in the IDE directory and start the VS with Devenv \ResetSettings

** I also need the Testresults Error message for more info

 

Answer 4

OK, let's start to troubleshoot it. Could you please collect tracing information for the process devenv.exe and send it to us? You can find information how to collect for a process in this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1206123&SiteID=1

 

Thanks,

Michael

Answer 5

I have the same issue on Windows XP SP 2, VS2008 Developer Edition Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM . Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

I open the solution, and then go:

Test -> Edit Test Run Configuration -> Local Test Run -> Click Code Coverage.

Then the editor closes, no exception is reported.

 

I have turned on tracing for the VSTestHost.exe but it didn't even create the log file. It appears it is not used for editing the configuration.

So I added the following to the file devenv.exe.config:

<system.diagnostics>

<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">

<listeners>

<add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\devenv.log" />

</listeners>

</trace>

<switches>

<!-- You must use integral values for "value". Use 0 for off, 1 for

error, 2 for warn, 3 for info, and 4 for verbose. -->

<add name="EqtTraceLevel" value="4" />

</switches>

</system.diagnostics>

 

However there is no exception in the trace file. Here are the parts around when it crashed

Answer 6

I have done a little more debugging and found that it is being caused by solutions containining a WSSF project.

If I create a new project Guidance Packages -> Service Factory : Modeling Edition -> Model Project. I then add a new test configuration file. I then go Test -> Edit Test Run Configuration -> Local Test Run -> Click Code Coverage, the window then closes.

As it is the code coverage window that is crashing I assume the bug is in there, or at the very least it doesn't handle external errors very well!!

Answer 7

Yes, the problem is with WSSF projects. For other project types it is working fine. Thanks aussie_iain 

Answer 8

I reported a bug of this under VS2008

 

Answer 9

I do not have a WSSF project in my solution but I still have this issue (VS2005 with SP1). My solution just contains class libraries and web application projects.

 

Regards

Andy

Answer 10

Lets try and figure out if its one of your projects. Trying unloading some projects (In the solution window, left click the project -> Unload Project) and see if you can get it working again. I found that unloading the WSSF project fixed it for me. If that doesn't work try removing projects until it does work.

 

Answer 11

Thanks for the tip.  I don't have a WSSF project, but I do have a dbproj (Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR Version 9.1.30819.01).  Unloading that project allowed access to the Code Analysis section again.

Answer 12

I just ran into this same issue but a Wix project is what did it.

Anyone know what the code coverage window closes in VS 2008 Suite when a Wix project is added?

Answer 13

In regards to no code coverage when GDR projects are included in the solution, did you file a bug?  Thanks!

Answer 14

A bug has been filed and we should have a hotfix available soon.  We are reviewing the KB Article.

Thanks

Answer 15

I am having the same problem with Silverlight projects. I have 3 Silverlight class projects and a Silverlight project. I can open the code coverage property page with any of the Silverlight Class Library projects loaded, but if my Silverlight project is loaded I can't open the code coverage property page. I also have a database project, but it is not causing any problems. I have a total of 15 projects including an MVC project and a Web Application project.

I have this problem as well, when there are Database Edition GDR projects loaded in the solution. Unloading the DBPro projects allows me to edit the code coverage settings of the testrunconfig.
