How can I configure the build process in TeamCity to execute SpecFlow tests?
I am using visual studio 2017 with the Specrun.Specflow nuget package installed.
Can it be done with Nunit or SpecRun.exe?
To run the SpecFlow tests with the SpecFlow+Runner (aka SpecRun), you need to do this:
Open your project's build steps.
Click on Add build step.
Choose "Command Line" from the dialogue.
Configure the build step as follows:
Run: Executable with parameters
Command executable: Enter the path to SpecRun.exe here
Command parameters: Enter the command line parameters for SpecRun.exe here. Use the BuildServerRun option and include /buildserver:teamcity.
Information on executing command lines in TeamCity is available here. More details on the
SpecFlow+ Runner's command line options can be found here.
Click on Save.

I am facing the error below during configuration of MSBuild in Jenkins:
[ImageResize] $ cmd.exe /C " msbuild.exe p:Configuration=Release
E:\Heena\Applications\ImageResize\vbimage\ImageResize.sln " && exit
%%ERRORLEVEL%% 'msbuild.exe' is not recognized as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch file. Build step 'Build a
Visual Studio project or solution using MSBuild' marked build as
failure Finished: FAILURE
Please note that I have set MSBuild path up to msBuild.exe during setting up of MSbuild plugin. I have successfully deployed Visual Studio project on jenkins, but unable to configure it with MSBuild.
In MSBuild installations option of jenkins,
Choose the path to MSBuild = C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
Then go to your respective jenkins project where you want to build,
from,Add Build Step menu choose
Build Visual Studio Project or solution using MSBuild option
MSBuild version will be what you defined in Step 1 and in MSBuild File
type the path of your solution file and in Command Line Arguments option
type /p:Configuration=Release.
Hope you got the answer what you were looking for.
A Guess from my side , msbuild.exe is not part of the PATH when you execute the msbuild command , check that before you run the command , try to export the the path to msbuild to the path variable.
Looking at the error i assume you are using windows/Batch , so try some thing like this before running msbuild
set PATH=%PATH%;path/to/msbuild/binary

This is my first blog or query. I am very new to TFS Admin role and sonarqube tool.
We are using TFS 2013 as an ALM in our project, the project is based on .Net Application (new to .NET as well).
As per the client requirement, I am trying to integrate the "SonarQube 5.2" with the customized build process template instead of default template.
I installed the "SonarQube 5.2" on "ABC server" and my "TFS server/build agent" is on "XYZ".
I installed the SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 2.1 on XYZ server and updated the environment variables & sonarqube runner xml accordingly.
As per the standard link I am not using default template:-http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/From+Team+Foundation+Server+2013
and using a customized build template, which hadn't have pre/post build argument options.
So I edited in the customized build process template, added hooks for pre/post build scripts activities and updated the properties similar to the mentioned link :-
http://www.colinsalmcorner.com/post/build-script-hooks-for-tfs-2012-builds
Note: As per the above link, I didn’t update "Challenge 2 – Environment Variables" part in the process template as I am not running any powershell script only wanted to execute the MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe.
Used following activity & properties within the customized process template (refer above link):
*ConvertWorkspaceItem activity, set the following properties:
• DisplayName: “Get pre-build script local path”
• Input: PreBuildScriptPath
• Result: preBuildScriptLocalPath
• Workspace: Workspace
Set the following properties in the InvokeProcess activity:
• Arguments: String.Format(" ""& '{0}' {1}"" ", prebuildScriptLocalPath, PreBuildScriptArgs)
• DisplayName: “Run pre-build script”
• FileName: “PowerShell”
• Working Directory: SourcesDirectory*
Note: Same thing done for post build script
Sequentially, I placed these pre and post script activities under "Try, Compile and Test" activity of the process template.
In the MS build definition which is using the customized process template, I am setting below values in build process parameters (location/path of runner.exe on XYZ server) :
Pre-build script path : C:\SonarQube\bin\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe
Pre-build script arguments : begin /n: /v:< project version #> /k:
Post-build script path : C:\SonarQube\bin\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe
Post-build script arguments : end
But after all these changes, my build is getting partially successful and sonarqube integration is failed with the following error:
*The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects.
Possible causes:
1. The project has not been built - the project must be built in between the begin and end steps
2. An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 12.0 upwards are supported
3. The begin, build or end steps have not all been launched from the same folder*
Note: On XYZ server (TFS build server) we do have MSBuild 12.0 and build is happening under SourcesDirectory as ".sonarqube" folder is getting created within the same directory.
Also on XYZ server's command prompt (within the location of SourceDirectory or where the ApplicationName.sln is available), I ran following sonarqube commands, my analysis was successful and reports generated on Sonarqube dashboard:
- MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner begin /n:<project name> /v:< project version #> /k: <project key>
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\Msbuild.exe" "ApplicationName.sln" /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"
- MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner end
Kindly go through this, it will be a great help if someone can guide me and provide some concrete explanation to resolve this.
Let me know if you need any other information.
as I read in your comment:
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner is installed on "C:\sonarquberunner\" and
MSBuild is under
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" and my
build directory on TFS server is
"D:\data\Build\$(BuildAgentId)\$(BuildDefinitionPath)" (location of
source code for build).
You have installed MSBUILD 12, but the Build agent is calling the version 4.0
You need to modify your build process template in order to achieve that.
Find the Run MSBuild activity in your build template and set the ToolPath = “C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\” or the path of your MSBUILD 12
You may try to specify the /n:/k:arguments:
/k:"the project key of the SonarQube project to which the build
definition relates"
/n:"the project name of the SonarQube project"
Also, instead of Post-build script path and Post-build script arguments, try to set the Post-test script path to the full path to MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe, and set the Post-test script arguments to end.
Check the screenshot below:
I finally got a msbuild to execute and do a publish through the command line. Now I'm wondering how do I do that via teamcity?
When I run this command line it works!
C:\TFS\project\myProject\APIproject>msbuild apiproject.csproj
/p:DeployOnBuild=true
/p:PublishProfile="Properties\PublishProfiles\DEV.pubxml"
/p:VisualStudioVersio n=14.0
However, I don't see a good solution in TeamCity to run this script.
See the documentation: add an 'MsBuild' build step and populate the fields appropriately. Your commandline translated to these fields:
'Build file path' relative/path/to/apiproject.csproj
'Targets' I'm guessing 'Build' but can be left empty for the default
'Command line parameters' here you can specify all properties like on the commandline. TeamCity might emit warnings because you do so, because the alternative and preferred way is to make all these properties TeamCity build parameters: TeamCity passes build parameters to MsBuild automatically.
I have a very simple pre-build step that I want to execute with my CI build using Visual Studio online. The syntax of the step is as follows:
copy ("$(ProjectDir)Config\web.azure.config" "$(ProjectDir)runtime.config")
Both the source and destination file exist, this step works fine on all developer machines yet when I run on VSO I get an error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets (1247): The command "copy ("C:\a\src\MyProject\Tests\MyProject.WebAPI.Tests\Config\web.azure.config" "C:\a\src\MyProject\Tests\MyProject.WebAPI.Tests\runtime.config")
" exited with code 1.
The project in question is a unit test project which I use to execute unit tests after my build has succeeded.
I've also tried removing the brackets from the copy command.
I tried a similar approach using xcopy
xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)Config\web.azure.config" "$(ProjectDir)runtime.config
Any ideas?
I'm new to continuous integration. I'm trying to get Jenkins to execute unit tests from a TFS project. My Jenkins build (pre-NUnit build step) is successful and I've installed the NUnit Jenkins plugin and I've read this post, but it's failing with this error: "The system cannot find the path specified."
I think the trouble is that I'm NOT running from my local machine, so the test DLL that NUnit should be running is missing I think. How can I reference that DLL properly? Do I need an extra Build Step to copy the files or something? Here's my "Execute Windows Batch Command" build step command:
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml"
The problem is that your command is all in quotes, including the parameters.
Change
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml"
to
"C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe" Victoria.Tests.Integration/bin/Debug/Victoria.Tests.Integration.dll /xml=nunit-result.xml
