TestContainer not found

[Paul-A]

Hello,

I have created an embedded project for unit tests for STM32. I use the wizard, and the project compiles. But if I try to launch the tests I have the following result:

I didn’t modify source code, so it should launch the 3 default tests.

I use VisualGDB 5.4 with visual studio 2017 15.9.5

Hi,

Could you have accidentally deleted the .vgdbsettings file mentioned in the error? Please try creating a new test project from scratch. Are you able to run the tests from it? Does switching the new project to the Release configuration (you would need to build the project after switching the configuration) result in an error again?

[Paul-A]

The files are not deleted, and I have the same problem in debug and release configuration. As I said, the project is already “from scratch” because I just created an embedded project with the wizard. The only thing which is not as default parameters is “shared files”, “ARM toolchain”, “Embedded BSPs” and “Test Framewaork” there are not saved in C:\[…]\AppData\Local\VisualGDB\

Is it the problem ? I need to set another path, because I share these files through git.

[support]

The test framework location should not be related. It looks like something on the VS side fails to load the test container.

Please try setting the following registry value (DWORD):

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\Settings\ExtraVerboseTestExecutorLogging = 1

Then restart Visual Studio and try running the tests and then debugging the tests. Then share the Test Output and the output from View->Other Windows->VisualGDB Diagonstics Console.

[Paul-A]

Ok here is the log:

Thanks for the log. Looks like Visual Studio throws an error while VisualGDB tries to enumerate the test containers. It might not be related to the original problem, but either way we have added better handling for this here: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.100.2757.msi

Unfortunately, you did not include the updated log from the regular View->Output->Tests (the registry setting would increase its verbosity), so there might be other issues preventing the tests from starting. If the updated build doesn’t solve the problem, please attach both VisualGDB Diagnostics log and the regular test output log.

Please also consider repairing your VS installation – the problem might be caused by missing components of the VS side.

[Paul-A]

I have repaired VS just in case, and I have installed the MSI file you gave, this is the output console:

For information, I have created a new solution with a new project, and it works, I don’t know where the difference could be.

Based on the log file, the test session actually starts, so the “missing test container” error doesn’t make sense. If creating a new project after reinstalling VS helped, most likely some global setting was corrupt and it affected some other setting in the project. If a newly created project works, please consider making a backup of it in case you run into the same problem again.

You could also try deleting the .vs folder in the broken project (also the Debug/Release, VisualGDBCache, etc) to see if that fixes the problem, but it may not be worth the effort if newly created projects work.
