after updating SpecflowRunner to 3.5.8 and re-installing the Specflow Package 2017.2.1 my tests cannot be executed and are skipped instead. When I open the log file I find this Error message:
Error while unpacking executor: System.TypeLoadException: The method "Initialize" in type "TechTalk.SpecRun.Framework.TestAssemblyExecutor" of the assembly "TechTalk.SpecRun.Framework.Executor, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" is not implemented.
(Sorry, I had to translate the message)
A friend of mine has the same versions, but everything runs smoothly. We both use Visual Studio 2017.
Did I miss something, a cache that has to be cleared or anything else?
You have probably some old leftover files from before the update in your obj and bin folder.
Close Visual Studio
delete the folders
start Visual Studio
Rebuild Solution
After that, you should be able to execute your tests again.

I was adding some code to a project and wanted to add a Google Test case for it, on the unit testing project called UnitTests. Everything was going fine, my test failed because of some silly copy+paste mistake I made but after I fixed it I couldn't run the test anymore because during the build stage I'd get this error
Error (active) E0145 member
"google::protobuf::internal::ExtensionSet::kMaximumFlatCapacity" may
not be initialized UnitTests
Which stems from google\protobuf\extension_set.h.
and
Error LNK1104 cannot open file '\UnitTests.exe'
I commented-out my new test and tried to rebuild but encountered the same issue.
Then I tried to change to a different branch in my local repository - one without any of that new code and building the unit tests project still resulted in the same issue.
What could be the problem?
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 if it could matter.
Thanks.
So I tried making a basic game on the console using screen buffers, I was able to create it and make a square move in the canvas, but for my next project I looked up a website with the ASCII characters and pasted a couple into a comment at the end of the c++ file, when I ran the file visual studio prompted:
I clicked yes and it didn't run anymore.
Also I recently have installed an extension for visual studio (before it didn't run, the extension works fine but I don't know if the extension may have caused this as I didn't tried running it with the extension downloaded and applied), when I open visual studio and open a file it says:
The last record in the ActivityLog xml file, has a type of error and it's description is:

I have Visual Studio 2017
So why does running the file (with the local windows debugger button) say that there were build errors? And how can I fix it?
When it prompts the build error, and I click no it usually shows the errors but in this case it doesn't, yes will just run the last "successful" build (although I haven't changed the file since I have finished it before this error message started popping up)
Also there is no error in my code as I was able to run it before the build error kept appearing and I haven't touched the file since(only now to show the problems are)
Thanks for your time! if anything was unclear because of my English, comment and I'll try to clarify it
I fixed the error by deleting ComponentModelChache folder located at:
C:\Users\%userName%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0
15.0 is the version of your visual studio so it varies depending on the version you're using, %userName% is a replacement for the user you're logged in as
While running my unit test in VS2017 in debug mode, after the build the run starts but immediately after i get an exception before any of my breakpoints are hit:
Managed Debugging Assistant 'BindingFailure'
Message=Managed Debugging Assistant 'BindingFailure' :'*The assembly with display name 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Extensions.MSAppContainerAdapter' failed to load in the 'Load' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1. The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Extensions.MSAppContainerAdapter' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.*'
How can I figure it out where is this issue coming from?
The file in the exception message can be found under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions and has the version 15.0.28307
The VS2017 that i use has the version 15.9.11
I use Visual Studio adapter for Boost.Test. I built boost.test[v1.59] project using cmake.
I didn't have any compile problems but when I tried to run tests I got the output like below:
Executing: -> [BoostUnitTestSample]
filestream was found to be null when handling path: D:\Work\Project\dev\DesktopMSVC13_Project\src\ProjectTest\Debug\ProjectTest.exe.test.report.xml
Exception caught while running test batch D:\Work\Project\dev\DesktopMSVC13_Project\src\ProjectTest\Debug\ProjectTest.exe [BoostUnitTestSample]

========== Run test finished: 0 run (0:00:03,6081912) ==========
Everything goes fine if I add a boost.test project manually
My experience with the Boost.Test extension for Visual Studio (see comment) tells me that you forgot to set references to dependencies required to run the tests (typically DLLs). I think the message is rather created by the standard test execution engine than by Boost.Test extension. It is just a clumsy way of saying "oh, the test did not run, so I could find the results..."
I have created simple MS Unit Test Project. Assert.Equal(true, true).
When I want to run a test I receive a error from Resharper and Visual Studio.
"Unit test Runner failed to run tests
System.Xml.XmlException: An Error occured while parsing EnityName. Line 1, position 17."
Do I missing something.
Edit:
I can't add screenshot and I can't select text to copy. Ok I will write it the best I can.

To solve this problem you don't need to reinstall Visual Studio or Resharper.
The problem was in a file path to my projects. This would explains why other Unit Test projects were fine because there were in a different location.
I guess this a bug inside Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework. If you have unit test project inside folders with special charts like '&' then Visual Studio will crash or Resharper will return this message.
I wonder where I can report this bug.
I have just run into this problem too and followed the advice above.
First my path had a folder named ...\m&e...
Then I copied the whole project folder to a new location without an '&' in the path.
After that everything was working well.
