I've recently started seeing this error occasionally when my builds run:
"Failed to publish test results: Test result completed date must be greater than test result start date"
I'm building on the a Linux environment using the Maven build step in VSTS, with the Publish JUnit and JaCoCo options enabled. The JaCoCo report is generated and shows the code coverage for the tests, but no test results are published when this error occurs.
If someone from MS responds to me via Email, I can provide a sample build that failed.
Here is a sample of what I'm seeing in the logs (note: I've made some replacements to hide some information). I believe the line "Timestamp is not available for one or more testsuites. Total run duration is being calculated as the sum of time
durations of detected testsuites" is a red herring... as I see the same line in other runs that succeed.
