The tester does not show a list of device tests with a network drive

Question

I had a simple C # program that had a Unit Tests suite. It was developed on Visual Studio 2010. Now on another computer, I tried to restart this solution using Visual Studio 2012 and run the tests. I was able to successfully restore the solution, however, none of the unit tests appeared in Test Explorer. The Visual Studio project (solution) was located on the LaCie Ethernet network drive. I copied the entire solution to my local C: drive, closed the solution from a network drive and reopened the copied file on the local C: drive. Now when I create the solution, Test Explorer shows all the tests. I came back and opened a copy on a network drive, and again Test Explorer does not show tests. It talks about building a solution in order to view a list of tests, but after successfully creating a solution that includes the main project and the unit test project, it still displays the same message. See image below:

Why does he have a project located on a network drive that causes Unit Testing to fail like it does without an error message?

Answer 1

Finally, we got this to work with a network resource using the following commands:

setx COMPLUS_LoadFromRemoteSources 1 caspol -m -ag 1.2 -url file://<path>* FullTrust 

For example, if the path is \\computer\share\ , then the second command will be:

 caspol -m -ag 1.2 -url file://\\computer\share\* FullTrust 

(note the asterisk at the end of the path)

Close VS first, run the commands, restart VS. This worked for me without having to clean / build my project.

Answer 2

Rebuild all application projects, including any projects containing test classes and test methods. They will appear in Test Explorer.

 [TestMethod] public async Task<Customers> GetCustomers() { var result = await ... }

Answer 3

The solution is actually only the first half of Gary:

 setx COMPLUS_LoadFromRemoteSources 1

Answer 4

With .Net 5 you need to add the test command to the project.json command list.

  "commands": { "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --server.urls=http://localhost:5000", "test": "xunit.runner.dnx" },
