RE: Test All Tests in TFS Build Server?

If you look in the .proj file that Team build uses it's documented how
to run tests without a test list:

 

<!--  TEST ARGUMENTS

     If the RunTest property is set to true then the following test
arguments will be used to run 

     tests. Tests can be run by specifying one or more test lists and/or
one or more test containers.

     

     To run tests using test lists, add MetaDataFile items and
associated TestLists here.  Paths can 

     be server paths or local paths, but server paths relative to the
location of this file are highly 

     recommended:

     

        <MetaDataFile
Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.vsmdi">

            <TestList>BVT1;BVT2</TestList>

        </MetaDataFile>

 

     To run tests using test containers, add TestContainer items here:

     

        <TestContainer Include="$(OutDir)\HelloWorldTests.dll" />

        <TestContainer
Include="$(SolutionRoot)\TestProject\WebTest1.webtest" />

        <TestContainer
Include="$(SolutionRoot)\TestProject\LoadTest1.loadtest" />

 

     Use %2a instead of * and %3f instead of ? to prevent expansion
before test assemblies are built

Subject: [OT] Test All Tests in TFS Build Server?

 






I have multiple (VS not nUnit) unit tests that I would like to run
after-build on my TFS 2008 box. I don't want to use the .testrunconfig
file or .vsmdi file because they have a few problems in my
multi-developer setup. I would like for the build server to do some
inspection of every test*.dll file in my 'drop directory' and run any
tests it finds there. the tests are database (gdrv2) tests and regular
unit tests also.

 

There seem to be plenty of resources and hacks and etc for 2005, but
they involve changing things or doing things that don't apply to the
2008 product. Can anyone throw me their $.02 on this one?

 

Thanks.
