VisualGDB & GoogleTestFramework in Commandline

[ds1988]

Hello everybody,

we have a problem running VisualGDB from the commandline. We discovered the problem while preparing a TFS task for VisualGDB.

For normal projects everything is fine. The codefiles are copied to the build machine and are compiled successfully.

The problem occurs when we are compiling a project containing the google test framework. The compilation process also succeeds, but then the launch failed.

I have no idea why it fails, or what it es trying. Executing the test?

The problem only occurs in the commandline (VisualGDB.exe project-Debug.vgdbsettings).

When using the VisualStudio project everything works and the tests are listed in the TestExplorer and can be executed.

This is the tail of the output:

Build succeeded.

Do you have any idea what is gonig wrong?

Hi,

No problem, we can help you with this. For MSBuild-based (and CMake-based) projects the .vgdbsettings file does not contain sufficient information to run the tests (e.g. the executable name is derived by MSBuild during compile time). VisualGDB solves this by caching those settings in a .vgdbtestcontainer file when you run the tests from the IDE.

Hence instead of running VisualGDB on the .vgdbsettings file, please run it on the .vgdbtestcontainer file as shown below:

VisualGDB /runtests <file.vgdbtestcontainer>

You can also configure VisualGDB to generate the test container file during the regular build (see the Generate a test container file property in VS Project Properties).

[ds1988]

Hi,

we already figured out that we need the vgdbtestcontainer.

The generation of the container during the build is indeed our prefered way.

The problem ist that our VS Project Properties does not contain a “Generate a test container file” property.

Hi,

No problem, please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.3.2313.msi

[ds1988]

Hi,

thanks a lot now the we can create the vgdbtestcontainer during the build.

When we build the project with msbuild everything is fine and the container is created.

Running “VisualGDB /runtests file.vgdbtestcontainer outputfile” works. So we need two steps build and a seperate test step in our TFS Task.

But when we call VisualGDB using the settingsfile as a parameter (VisualGDB.exe project-Debug.vgdbsettings) we still get the old error:

Build/launch failed: Failed to find an IDE project corresponding to E:\work\1\s\project-Debug.vgdbsettings

Any idea why this error still occurs?

Is the version of visualgdb (VisualGDB-5.4.3.2313.msi) the preview version or the final version.

 

Greetings

Carsten

Hi,

This is by design. The MSBuild-based projects must be build by invoking either devenv.exe, or msbuild.exe (VisualGDB would internally run msbuild.exe if you try building the .vgdbsettings file, but it looks like something is preventing it from finding the correct .vcxproj file in your case). Please try using the following command line:

msbuild.exe <.vcxproj file> /property:Platform=VisualGDB /property:Configuration=Debug

[ds1988]

Hi,

using msbuild.exe works fine.

But we have another question. We tried to upgrade the licence of our build machine from a trial to a normal one. But this does not seem to work without an internetconnection.

Is there a way to upgrade without an internetconnection?

[support]

Hi,

Normally VisualGDB should display a manual activation window if there is no Internet connection. If you don’t have Visual Studio installed on the build machine, please try running VisualGDB.exe /about to open the “About VisualGDB” window and enter the license key there.

[ds1988]

Hi,

while activating the trail version an activation window was shown. But not for upgrading. Is it possible to reset the license?

When i call visualgdb.exe /about i get an exception while clicking a button. Visualgdb.exe /intro shows the trail licence and the purchased licence.

Hi,

Sorry, looks like the exception screenshot was not attached properly. Could you please click on “details” and copy the full exception text with the call stack?

Hi,

i did not notice, that the file was too big.
