VS Test failing in Pipelines with missing 'Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk'

Tags:

I'm getting a failed builds due to the Visual Studio Test step failing in my Build Pipeline.

I have a simple .NET Core v2.1 class library and associated MS Test library. I have 2 steps in my pipeline:

  1. A .NET Core build step, and
  2. A Visual Studio Test step

Both projects target the netcoreapp2.1 framework, see below for .csproj files.

I have tried enabling and disabling the Code coverage option, but this make no difference.

Thanks in advance,

Kaine

I have solved my problem by revising my filter to find test assemblies. When i was messing around with my test step, accidentally set the filter to "/**/UnitTests.dll" and i did not realise that it was also matching UnitTests.dll in the "obj" folder and that folder does not have .deps.json files. From the logs i noticed that it was running tests twice (once for each matching dll) so then i ignored the obj folder by reverting back my filter to exclude obj folder. So i guess two things to take care in such cases,

  1. You must have "Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" installed on your test project and
  2. Your filter does not include or exclude any unwanted dll(s) which you (don't want / want to) be there
