sometimes old test containing privert accessors will fail the build with Error:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamTest\Microsoft.TeamTest.targets
(14): Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
first try to remove the private accessors and use a mocking framework (pex/moles or VS2012 Fakes)
But if due to any reason, you cannot remove the usage
of private accessors immediately from your tests, please try changing
the TeamTest targets file ("C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamTest\Microsoft.TeamTest.targets")
and see whether running the shadow task in a separate process works or not.
Here are
the steps you should do for this: -
- Edit the targets file ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamTest\Microsoft.TeamTest.targets’.
- Change ExecuteAsTool property (highlighted) from default false to true.
<Target
Name="ResolveTestReferences"
Condition="'@(Shadow)'!=''">
<BuildShadowTask
ExecuteAsTool="True" <!—Default value is false, change it to
true –>
CurrentResolvedReferences="@(ReferencePath)"
CurrentCopyLocalFiles="@(ReferenceCopyLocalPaths)"
Shadows="@(Shadow)"
ProjectPath="$(ProjectDir)"
IntermediatePath="$(IntermediateOutputPath)"
SignAssembly="$(SignAssembly)"
KeyFile="$(AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile)"
DelaySign="$(DelaySign)">
<Output
TaskParameter="FixedUpReferences"
ItemName="ReferencePath"/>
<Output
TaskParameter="NewCopyLocalAssemblies"
ItemName="ReferenceCopyLocalPaths"/>
</BuildShadowTask>
</Target>
- Save the file. (and probably restart the machine as well so that the background msbuild processes definitely picks up the change)
