3 years ago Hi @sumitkm,
Are you getting that message after cleaning your solution?
If yes, can you try removing the hidden .vs folder in your solution root after closing Visual Studio and try again to see if you still get it?
sumitkm
commented
3 years ago @Haplois Unfortunately yes. I have cleaned the solution, closed Visual Studio, remove all bin/obj folders manually, removed .vs folder manually... reloaded... clean, rebuild... no avail. Still get the same error.
Please note this is not like old executor bugs that happened due to missing DLL... there are no missing DLL warnings. It is clearly saying it is missing a parameter, possibly named message somewhere.

3 years ago Update: I tried to repro it with a standalone solution and project, I got the same issue when I upgraded from 2.1.2 to to 2.2.3. But after I closed VS, deleted .vs folder and reloaded the standalone project, the message went away. I am going to dig a little further into this.

3 years ago Yes, thank you for the clarification.
Could you run your tests from vstest.console.exe using the --diag option and send us the logs? (Test console should be on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\common7\ide\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe")
vstest.console.exe C:\Path\To\My\Test\Project\bin\x64\Debug\net48\Tests.Integration.dll --Diag:diag.logAnd please share the resulting diag*.log file with us.

3 years ago Hey @Haplois many thanks for the command line syntax. I have the files but these contain a bucket load of internal API details that I cannot share publicly.
Here's the bit from diag[timestamp].log file that might be of interest

3 years ago Digging further, I can see out of the three Test projects I have, 2 are throwing the exception and 1 is not. So it narrows it down to an environment-ish issue.
Also I have updated the PackageReferences list in the original bug report above. I had inadvertently copied the packages from the Project that is actually working...
I'll keep digging in an attempt to reproduce it in a shareable project.

3 years ago Quick update. I upgraded our project to latest Test Framework and tried out the latest adapter got stuck again. This time the behaviour is slightly different.
It is a mix of the 2.2.1 issues and the above issue.
I am back to 2 set of Unit Test projects being completely ignored by the test framework. It shows the Tree in Text Explorer but doesn't run them.
After carefully installing/uninstalling various combinations of MSTest's Nuget packages. I find that the following combination is able to discover and run all my tests.
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk v16.9.4
MSTest.TestFramework v2.2.3
MSTest.TestAdapter v2.1.2As soon as I upgrade to MSTest.TestAdapter v2.2.3 2/3rds of my tests fail to get recognised and are not executed.
I am going to keep trying to isolate this issue and find a reproable Project that I can share here.

3 years ago @sumitkm, can you try with our latest preview (v2.2.4-preview-20210331-02)? If the issue persists, let's schedule a call on or after Tuesday. I'll send an email to you.

3 years ago Thanks again for all your support @Haplois . I tried updating all the MSTest dependencies to the latest from the Test feed. but no dice.
As mentioned earlier only one of my three test projects run without the following error (even with new the pre packages)
An exception occurred while invoking executor 'executor://mstestadapter/v2': The parameter cannot be null or empty.
Parameter name: message
The Tests.Unit project doesn't throw the above error.
If I run each test project separately, all tests run.
However if I click Run all Tests from the explorer it first runs Tests.Integration, all tests pass but still I get the above exception and the tests in the other two projects are not executed. I have to then run the other two projects manually. This is fine, but the error on Tests.Integration will still break Visual Studio Build pipeline.
Cheers.

3 years ago I experienced the same issue and for now reverted to v2.1.2 of both MSTest.TestAdapter and MSTest.TestFramework...

3 years ago So here is some bad news :(
Concerning the issue above, I did create a new issue (#887), but the thing is I was too quick at saying I didn't reproduce the issu any more; I was simply not looking at the right repository... .
So, I did apply version 2.2.5-preview-20210605-01 to test projects in the correct repository and:
========== Test discovery finished: 1297 Tests found in 6,7 sec ==========

3 years ago I managed to narrow down the issue to a rather simple repro (note that you'll need to add Mongo2go:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Mongo2Go;
namespace MSTestTest
{
[TestClass, ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
public class UnitTests
{
private static MongoDbRunner runner;
[ClassInitialize, SuppressMessage("Style", "IDE0060:Remove unused parameter", Justification = "Required by VSTest conventions")]
public static void Setup(TestContext context)
{
//Console.Out.WriteLine("Before Start");
runner = MongoDbRunner.Start();
//Console.Out.WriteLine("After Start");
}
[ClassCleanup]
public static void Teardown()
{
//Console.Out.WriteLine("Before Dispose");
runner.Dispose();
//Console.Out.WriteLine("After Dispose");
}
[TestMethod]
public void Fake_test() => Assert.IsTrue(true);
}
}This test reproduces the error that prevent later tests to execute (in Visual Studio). What's interesting is that:
Console.WriteLine in the Cleanup method, the error goes away.MongoDbRunner.Start() starts an external process (that runs mongo.exe) that in turn writes to its console. I suppose (did not check) that Mongo2go redirects mongo.exe out and err outputs.Well all this to say that I think there is some buggy behavior both in the Test initialization and cleanup methods with respect to console output maybe when some of this comes from out/err files redirected from an external process...
Hope this helps

3 years ago @odalet that is a brilliant narrowing down. @Haplois I can confirm I am using Mongo2Go as well in my tests.
odalet
commented
3 years ago @sumitkm thanks! And well, I couldn't have suspected you were also using mongo2go... I think (hope) the issue is not specific to mongo2go but rather arises when a subprocess is created with its console redirected. Do you happen to use class initialization and cleanup methods as well?

3 years ago We use [AssemblyInitialize] and [AssemblyCleanup], which kind of explains why all my tests in one assembly runs before failing to start the run of the next Test project.
I am going to try that Console.WriteLine hack and see if it behaves the same for me too. brb.

3 years ago Haa haa... @odalet you wonderful hacker 😆 It works! Here is our Assembly level initialization
MockMongoFactory is just a custom class where we initialize the DB with some custom params.
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using MyCompany.TestHelpers.Tests.Common.Mocks;
using System;
[TestClass]
public class TestStartup
{
public static MockMongoFactory MockMongoFactory { get; set; }
[AssemblyInitialize]
public static void AssemblyInitialize(TestContext context)
{
TestStartup.MockMongoFactory = new MockMongoFactory();
}
[AssemblyCleanup]
public static void AssemblyCleanup()
{
//Console.Out.WriteLine("Before Dispose");
TestStartup.MockMongoFactory.Dispose();
Console.Out.WriteLine("After Dispose of Tests.Integration");
}
}@Haplois Here is the exception I get if we don't use the Console.Out.WriteLine("...") hack. Notice the first one Tests.Integration passes and the second one Tests.Local fails (because the second one doesn't have the hack yet).
Also I am using the release version MSTest.TestAdapter v2.2.4. So just confirming @odalet 's workaround works for previous builds too.
MSTest Executor: Test Parallelization enabled for C:\Workspaces\MyCompany\App\Main\Tests.Integration\bin\x64\Debug\net48\Tests.Integration.dll (Workers: 12, Scope: ClassLevel).

Well, to be honest, it was sheer luck that lead me to this workaround: I was merely trying to dump some information while investigating with my Console.WriteLine stuff... And then, I'm not that surprised the hack works with assembly level init/cleanup code as well: ultimately it taps into the same LogCleanupResult method deep down the test adapter.
@Haplois I think the parts to investigate are what happens during initialization and cleanup steps relating to console redirections. Mongo2go may be specifically at fault (although it didn't bother MSTest v2.1), but I suspect we'd end up with the same errors if we were to use any code that spawns a process and monitors its output.
I know from experience that Windows Console redirection is a b*tch to get right so I had a look at how this behaves on Linux: I ran my test test on WSL and... it just works!

3 years ago @odalet, Thanks for all the investigation, hacking and narrowing down! I'll look into this as well and try to see if we need fix this on our side.

3 years ago @Haplois I've just cloned the testfx repo, walked down the call stack of my exception, and I think I came up with a fix:
I noticed that in TestExecutionManager.LogCleanupResult, one makes sure that messages are neither null nor empty before passing them to testExecutionRecorder.SendMessage.
However (I took the liberty to examine the implementation of ITestExecutionRecorder from my Visual Studio installation), this SendMessage method throws if the message is null or whitespace! And I confirmed that, with my use case, I was indeed retrieving some output full of whitespaces and cr/lf...
So I replaced the calls to string.IsNullOrEmpty with string.IsNullOrWhitespace (and added one such test inside the loop over warnings as well) and tried it against my test. And it works.
Here is the proposed code for TestExecutionManager.LogCleanupResult:
private void LogCleanupResult(ITestExecutionRecorder testExecutionRecorder, RunCleanupResult result)
{
Debug.Assert(testExecutionRecorder != null, "Logger should not be null");
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(result.StandardOut))
{
testExecutionRecorder.SendMessage(TestMessageLevel.Informational, result.StandardOut);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(result.DebugTrace))
{
testExecutionRecorder.SendMessage(TestMessageLevel.Informational, result.DebugTrace);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(result.StandardError))
{
testExecutionRecorder.SendMessage(
MSTestSettings.CurrentSettings.TreatClassAndAssemblyCleanupWarningsAsErrors ? TestMessageLevel.Error : TestMessageLevel.Warning,
result.StandardError);
}
if (result.Warnings != null)
{
foreach (string warning in result.Warnings)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(warning))
{
testExecutionRecorder.SendMessage(
MSTestSettings.CurrentSettings.TreatClassAndAssemblyCleanupWarningsAsErrors ? TestMessageLevel.Error : TestMessageLevel.Warning,
warning);
}
}
}
} What's left:
LogCleanupResult or maybe the previous code didn't capture at all the output from external processes...Tell me what you think!

3 years ago Hi @odalet - thank you for all your work here. Since you did all the investigation, if you open the PR; I can guide you on the tests.
Description
I was holding back on v2.2.1 and using v2.1.2 because of issue #789
When I upgraded to v2.2.2 and then to v2.2.3 I find the tests are running inside Visual Studio and the breaking behavior in 2.2.1 is resolved; however after running all the tests In the Test Output window I notice the following message
This doesn't cause any issues in Visual studio but when they are executed in Visual Studio DevOps pipeline, the mention of the word
exceptioncauses the Pipeline task to fail, even though all tests have passed.I have rolled back to 2.1.2 multiple times, and after reverting, the above error message goes away.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
All tests should pass without any messages mentioning any
exception, e.g. when running same tests withv2.1.2give the following message at end of runActual behavior
I get the following message
I could be missing some Run parameters, but I couldn't figure out which one exactly, quickly. Any pointers appreciated.
