New Post: Test results not being published

MrKWatkins — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:30:06 GMT

Any chance you could give me the NUnit output for those tests? It might well be a problem with the resultant .trx file. I remember fixing a bug in it a while back where test names over a certain length (256) I think couldn't be uploaded to TFS and it failed with the wonderfully useful "General Failure"... So it's probably something in the resultant .trx that TFS doesn't like. If you can get me the NUnit output I'll have a play and see what I can do.

I've managed to mangle the NCover results into MSCoverage's XML format. However it turns out that that isn't the format you need to upload to TFS; you need the original binary format. So it might take a little while... I am still opimisitic though, even if I have to write something to run MSCoverage instead...

I'll be checking this in shortly. Expect a new release soon - want to add a few more things first. I've also subscribed to emails for the project so I know in future when people request things...

Works for me too - thanks!

I've taken the liberty of creating a work issue so that this can be tracked more easily.

Curiouser and curiouser - I Ignored all the failing tests, and now the results are published successfully!

OK, so using runas to open a command prompt on the server, and copy a file to the TestResults folder works, as does creating a sub-folder in TestResults, so it doesn't appear to be permissions.

Does TFS log its internals anywhere?

We were able to publish when we were playing around with our sandbox project when exploring TFS, but when we set up the for-real project, and used the same code in our TFSBuild.proj, it goes pear-shaped.

The problem is that the specified build destination doesn't exist - TFS is trying to copy the TRX file to \\mtfssyd01\Drops\MyProject\DailyBuild_20091001.4\TestResults\07d90a01-0b11-2d00-91c4-30db1d215203\, but only gets as far as creating \\mtfssyd01\Drops\MyProject\DailyBuild_20091001.4\TestResults\. I'll have a go at it from the command-line as you suggest, but do you think that there is any mileage in patching the Publisher to check that the drop folder exists before copying the file in?

Have you successfully published before?

Can you check that you have write access via the share? Start a command prompt as the build service account and try manually copying the trx file to the location shown in the build log and see if it gets through.

The only other thing that may have happened is that you may have a connection drop or time out during the upload of the test results or the disk may have filled. A "general failure" is a little non-specific, and permission problems are normally reported as specific errors, so I'd suspect something at the O/S level went wrong.

Just to clarify that, NUnit4TeamBuild is trying to upload the TRX file, but because the path returned by PrepareToPublish does not exist (due to the missing 07d90a01-0a27-0900-91c4-30db1d215203 sub-folder), the file is not uploaded. The question still remains then - how can I diagnose why TFS isn't creating the final subfolder? Or should NUnit4TeamBuild try to create that last folder if it doesn't exist?

I'm seeing the following error when attempting to publish my NUnit test results to TFS 2008 using v1.1 beta of NUnit4TeamBuild:

The TestResults folder is created in the build's drop folder, but the 07d90a01-0a27-0900-91c4-30db1d215203 folder is not created, so it looks like the TeamBuild service account has the right permissions to create folders. From a quick glance at the source code, the TRX file is being uploaded to the TFS build web service, but something is going wrong during the web service call that stops the subfolder being created. Is there anything I can do to figure out what is going on?

Are there any plans to extend this great functionality to getting NCover results into TFS as well?

New Post: Problem with PrepareToPublish

rbanks54 — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:54:23 GMT

It looks like a permissions problem. Can you check that the account you are running Team Build under has permissions to publish test results? Usually that means the account must be a member of the Project Administrators group as well as being a member of the build services group.

New Post: Results conversion produces invalid TimeSpan values

FMJT — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:40:00 GMT

I have also tried the above code and ran into an issue when trying to publish the resulting file. That's why I changed it. I'll post it here in case someone else has use for it.
The above code is dangerous because it rounds after calculating mod. This can lead to durations of "00:00:60" instead of "00:01:00"! In addition to that is does not care about tests that run for more than an hour.

Basically the template calculates the hours, minutes and seconds based on the parameter and returns a string with elements of length 2 that are separated with a ":", e.g. "01:12:45" for 4365.123 seconds:

<xsl:template name="seconds_to_hours_minutes_seconds">
    <xsl:param name="secs"/>
    <xsl:variable name="roundedSeconds">
      <xsl:value-of select="round($secs)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="hours">
      <xsl:value-of select="floor($roundedSeconds div 3600)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="minutes">
      <xsl:value-of select="floor(floor($roundedSeconds mod 3600) div 60)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="seconds">
      <xsl:value-of select="round($roundedSeconds mod 60)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="padHours">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring(concat('00', $hours),string-length($hours) + 1, 2)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="padMinutes">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring(concat('00', $minutes),string-length($minutes) + 1, 2)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="padSeconds">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring(concat('00', $seconds),string-length($seconds) + 1, 2)"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat($padHours, ':', $padMinutes, ':', $padSeconds)"/>
</xsl:template>

The template is then called as follows:

<xsl:attribute name="duration">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="@executed='True'">
        <xsl:call-template name="seconds_to_hours_minutes_seconds">
          <xsl:with-param name="secs" select="@time"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="'00:00:00'"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>

I'm trying to incorporate NUnit for team Build, but get this error:

I've searched high and low for what Publish_ResultDirectoryCreateFailed can mean, and what directory it is talking about, but I am unable to find any clue.

New Post: Uploading Results Without MSTest

Yeah, sorry I didn't have time to do that this week!

I'll get some more improvements on the code next week (busy watching
cricket this weekend) including some unit tests; seems like a project
for NUnit should probably have some tests.

Thanks for uploading this,

Kev

I've written a little app that will upload the transformed results to TFS; saves having to install MSTest on the build server. (Which I found meant you basically had to install Visual Studio)

New Post: Start and end time on the common result page is wrong

Stavanger — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:13:46 GMT

If you look at the start time and end time in the common Results, these do not seem to be correct. On my setup these are always set to 31.12.2007. If you look at the image in the blog: http://lh4.ggpht.com/rbanks54/SFefxNpINiI/AAAAAAAAAYg/NS4-0JUC-p0/s1600-h/clip_image0083.jpg You see end and start time = 01/01/08, this is also not correct. Is this possible to fix?
