TFS 2008, TeamBuild and Code Coverage

Hi,

In our guide we have a specific section on running inside the TFS.
I would start by making the test pass with no coverage
and then activating it to see what happens.
Theoretically you shouldn't need to do anything in order to make the coverage work.

If it still fail to work, let us know and we will take it offline for further investigation.

I'm using the targets (removed company and license info):
PropertyGroup>
<TypeMockLocation>C:Program FilesTypeMockTypemock Isolator</TypeMockLocation>
</PropertyGroup>

<Import Project ="$(TypeMockLocation)TypeMock.MSBuild.Tasks"/>

<Target Name="RegisterTypeMock">
<TypeMockRegister Company ="" License="" AutoDeploy="True" />
</Target>

<Target Name="BeforeTest">
<!-- Start TypeMock -->
<TypeMockStart />
</Target>

<Target Name="AfterTest">
<!-- Quit TypeMock -->
<TypeMockStop Undeploy="True" />
</Target>


I'm receive the message "Typemock Isolator needs to be linked with Coverage Tool to run" from TypeMock even if the build configuration i'm using doesn't have code coverage enabled.

I am getting the same error when the tests are run with NUnit. We just started using 4.2.4 with Visual Studio 2008. These tests and build scripts all run fine with Visual Studio 2005 and TypeMock 4.0.3.

When the TypeMockRegister task is run we get this error:
C:BuildDev7BuildUnitTest.Targets(14,8 ) : error MSB4018: The "TypeMockRegister" task failed unexpectedly.
C:BuildDev7BuildUnitTest.Targets(14,8 ) : error MSB4018: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to a
n instance of an object.
C:BuildDev7BuildUnitTest.Targets(14,8 ) : error MSB4018: at a.b()

atedTask(EngineProxy engineProxy, ItemBucket bucket, TaskExecutionMode howToExecuteTask, ITask task, Boolean& taskResul
t)

I don't know if this matters, but this script is running on Windows 2003 Server (x64), but the build is running as 32-bit (WOW64). TypeMock is running from C:Program Files (x86)TypeMockTypemock Isolator.

Still having trouble getting this to work. Can someone please contact me so we can get this straightened out?

Hi,

We need to take this offline. Please follow the instructions here to produce logs, and send them to support AT typemock DOT com.

Here's how to do this:
1. Turn on logging for Typemock (Program files->Typemock->Typemock Isolator->Configuration, Visual Studio integration),
2. Set a location for the logs (If not running as an administrator, create a temporary folder for that.
3. Run your build.

There should be two files created in the location you specified. Send them to us.
Hoping to resolve this quickly,

I am not convinced this is TFS issue.

Also, there something that's dumping out that is obsfuscated code (see below). Is that by design or is it actually a Typemock method that is obsfuscated?

(C:BuildDev7BuildUnitTest.Targets(14,8 ) : error MSB4018: at a.b()r )

If you execute TMockRunner just the same as in the build, especially on the build server, what do you get?
