I'm using tfs 2017 to run CodedUI ordered unit tests. These are my build steps:
These are my "Run Functional Tests" configurations:
And these are the "Publish Test Results" (I'm not sure they are correct):
The TestAgent is deployed and the tests are running fine, The problem is that the test results appear as only one result and I can't see detailed result for each test. This is how my tests results looks like (The attachments are screen shots I take for each test):
I can reproduce your situation and TFS will treat the tests as one in the log:
DistributedTests: Total Tests : 1, Passed Tests : 0
It's a know issue, please refer below link:
How to display test results of individual test in the ordered test
suite in TFS Web
This is a limitation of the run functional test task. You can
publish the .trx file using the "publish test results" task and it
will show you all the tests but you wont know which ".orderedtest"
they were associated with etc.
You need either open *.trx file in Visual Studio or use Publish Test Results task(need to check continue on error).
Besides also change the outcome from failed to all in the test result page.
I am running tests through Jenkins on a windows box. In my "Execute Windows Batch command" portion of the project configuration I have the following command:
nosetests --nocapture --with-xunitmp --eval-attr "%APPLICATION% and priority<=%PRIORITY% and smoketest and not dev" --processes=4 --process-timeout=2000
The post build actions have "Publish JUnit test result report" with the Test report XMLs path being:
trunk\automation\selenium\src\nosetests.xml
When I do a test run, the nosetests.xml file is created, however it is empty, and I am not getting any Test Results for the build.
I am not really sure what is wrong here.
EDIT 1
I ran the tests with just --with-xunit and REM'd out the --processes and got test results. Does anyone of problems with xunitmp not working with a Windows environment?
EDIT 2
I unstalled an reinstalled nose and nose_xunitmp to no avail.
The nosetest plugin for parallelizing tests and plugin for producing xml output are incompatible. Enabling them at the same time will produce the exact result you got.
If you want to keep using nosetest, you need to execute tests sequentially or find other means of parallelizing them (e.g. by executing multiple parallel nosetest commands (which is what I do at work.))
Alternatively you can use another test runner like nose2 or py.test which do not have this limitation.
Apparently the problem is indeed Windows and how it handles threads. We attempted several tests outside of our Windows Jenkins server and they do not work either. Stupid Windows.
I am having problems with Teamcity, where it is proceeding to run build steps even if the previous ones were unsuccessful.
The final step of my Build configuration deploys my site, which I do not want it to do if any of my tests fail.
Each build step is set to only execute if all previous steps were successful.
In the Build Failure Conditions tab, I have checked the following options under Fail build if:
-build process exit code is not zero
-at least one test failed
-an out-of-memory or crash is detected (Java only)
This doesn't work - even when tests fail TeamCity deploys my site, why?
I even tried to add an additional build failure condition that will look for specific text in the build log (namely "Test Run Failed.")
When viewing a completed test in the overview page, you can see the error message against the latest build:
"Test Run Failed." text appeared in build log
But it still deploys it anyway.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It appears that the issue has been running for a long time, here.
Apparently there is a workaround:
So far we do not consider this feature as very important as there is
an obvious workaround: the script can check the necessary condition
and do not produce the artifacts as configured in TeamCity.
e.g. a script can move the artifacts from a temporary directory to the
directory specified in the TeamCity as publish artifacts from just
before the finish and in case the build operations were successful.
But that is not clear to me on exactly how to do that, and doesn't sound like the best solution either. Any help appreciated.
Edit: I was also able to workaround the problem with a snapshot dependency, where I would have a separate 'deploy' build that was dependent on the test build, and now it doesn't run if tests fail.
This was useful for setting the dependency up.
This is a known problem as of TeamCity 7.1 (cf. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-17002) which has been fixed in TeamCity 8.x+ (see this answer).
TeamCity distinguishes between a failed build and a failed build step. While a failing unit test will fail the build as a whole, unfortunately TeamCity still considers the test step itself successful because it did not return a non-zero error code. As a result, subsequent steps will continue running.
A variety of workarounds have been proposed, but I've found they either require non-trivial setup or compromise on the testing experience in TeamCity.
However, after reviewing a suggestion from #arex1337, we found an easy way to get TeamCity to do what we want. Just add an extra Powershell build step after your existing test step that contains the following inline script (replacing YOUR_TEAMCITY_HOSTNAME with your actual TeamCity host/domain):
$request = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create("http://YOUR_TEAMCITY_HOSTNAME/guestAuth/app/rest/builds/%teamcity.build.id%")
$xml = [xml](new-object System.IO.StreamReader $request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd()
Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Select-Xml $xml -XPath "/build" | % { $status = $_.Node.status }
if ($status -eq "FAILURE") {
throw "Failing this step because the build itself is considered failed. This is our way to workaround the fact that TeamCity incorrectly considers a test step to be successful even if there are test failures. See http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-17002"
}
This inline PowerShell script is just using the TeamCity REST API to ask whether or not the build itself, as a whole, is considered failed (the variable %teamcity.build.id%" will be replaced by TeamCity with the actual build id when the step is executed). If the build as a whole is considered failed (say, due to a test failure), then this PowerShell script throws an error, causing the process to return a non-zero error code which results in the individual build step itself to be considered unsuccessful. At that point, subsequent steps can be prevented from running.
Note that this script uses guestAuth, which requires the TeamCity guest account to be enabled. Alternately, you can use httpAuth instead, but you'll need to update the script to include a TeamCity username and password (e.g. http://USERNAME:PASSWORD#YOUR_TEAMCITY_HOSTNAME/httpAuth/app/rest/builds/%teamcity.build.id%).
So, with this additional step in place, all subsequent steps set to execute "Only if all previous steps were successful" will be skipped if there are any previous unit test failures. We're using this to prevent automated deployment if any of our NUnit tests are not successful until JetBrains fixes the problem.
Thanks to #arex1337 for the idea.
Just to prevent confusion, this issue is fixed in Team City v8.x, We don't need those workarounds now.
You can specify the step execution policy via the Execute step option:
Only if build status is successful - before starting the step, the build agent requests the build status from the server, and skips the step if the status is failed.
https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/Configuring+Build+Steps
Of course you need to fail the build if at least one unit test failed:
https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/Build+Failure+Conditions
On the Build Failure Conditions page, the Fail build if area, specify when TeamCity will fail builds:
at least one test failed: Check this option to mark the build as failed if the build fails at least one test.
This is (as you have found) a known issue with TeamCity, there are a set of linked issues in their Issue Tracker. This issue is hopefully scheduled to be resolved in the next release of TeamCity (version 8.x)
In the mean time, the way we identified to resolve the issue (for version 6.5.5) was to download the test results file as part of the later steps. This was then parsed to check for any test failures, returning an error code and hence breaking the build properly (performing any cleanup we needed as part of that failure) which would probably work for you.
TeamCity build failure does not mean that it will stop the build and it will publish the artifacts if your build is providing the the build output files as required by TeamCity. It will only update the build status properly.
But, you can very well stop the build process by modification to your build script to stop the build on test case failure. If you are using MSBuild, then ContinueOnError="false" will do that.
In the end, I was able to solve the problem with a snapshot dependency, where I would have a separate 'deploy' build that was dependent on the test build, and now it doesn't run if tests fail.
This was useful for setting the dependency up.
I am new to testing in Xcode. I am following the developer documentation "iOS Developement Guide" Unit Testing Applications.
I have successfully added unit test bundles to my application with one failing test.
When I build the test target the output shows 1 error as expected but the editor does not show the expected error message under the failed test.
Does anyone know any configurations that need to be set to enable this feature?
Apples docs say:
"If the unit-test bundle is configured correctly, the build fails and Xcode displays an error message in the text editor."
TIA
Vital Clue:
- One thing I have noticed in my output window is the message "Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1"
Try to follow this guide
Be double careful about when to set application target, and when to set Unit test target. It works fine for me though.
If Unit Test fail, there should be some messages shown in the console.
I have a strange problem,
my MSBuild runs tests, code-coverage and publishing fine (part of the build.txt shown):
Results Top Level Tests
------- ---------------
Passed BuildTestProject.UnitTest1.TestMethod1
Passed BuildTestProject.UnitTest1.TestMethod2
2/2 test(s) Passed

....Publish completed successfully.
When I import these testresults on my local machine i get to see the code coverage-data as expected. But the code-coverage details are not shown in the details of the build that Visual Studio shows when you expand the 'results details'.
Any tips?
Finally found the solution today, found out that my TeamFoundationServer itself had problems with publishing the results to my buildAgent. I read somewhere (after searching for CoverAn.exe) that it is installed as a service, then i checked the credentials for the service 'Code Coverage Analysis Service'.
These were running under TFSMachine\NETWORK instead of our service-account for the TeamFoundationServer. Changed this, reran a build with tests in it and it now publishes the results.
W00t!
Check that the .testrunconfig used by the server has coverage enabled. It may be different than your local .testrunconfig.
