Hi

I'm struggling with integrating Statlight Tests for our viewmodels into our TFS Build Process for some time now. I've followed the workflow outlined in this article: http://www.nielshebling.de/?p=167

While I am able to run the Generic Test locally just fine, the test always fails on the build server with the following output:

StatLight - Version 1.6.4372Copyright (C) 2009-2011 Jason JarrettAll Rights Reserved.


Starting Test Run: 24.01.2012 11:24:48

No communication from the web browser has been detected. We've waited longer than the configured time of 00:05:00
------------------ Test Failed ------------------Test Namespace:    Test Class:        Test Method:       Other Info:        No communication from the web browser has been detected. We've waited longer than the configured time of 00:05:00

The sole current test case is an async test which contains just one line EnqueueTestComplete.

Any suggestions?

Bummer to hear you're having the trouble.

Did you review what is talked about in the documentation? http://statlight.codeplex.com/documentation

If so, and you've tried some of the suggested steps, would you mind including the "--debug" parameter and re-posting so I can take a look in more detail how you are running?

Hi

I've added the --debug switch and this is the output I got:

Ok, I see you're using the StatLight - Version 1.6.4372, and are leveraging the MSTest build from April 2010. 

Is your project a SL5 or SL4 project?

If it is SL5, do you have SL5 installed on the server as well?

If it is SL4, you may need to consider using StatLight 1.5 to run your tests. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

(Sorry my responses are a little slow, on a travel business trip ATM)

Hi

The project is indeed a SL5 project and the Silverlight 5 Runtime is installed on the server as well.

Cheers

Hi,

Unfortunatelly, I have the exactly same error as erazor for the same configuration(SL5 on TFS), it works just fine locally.

did anyone solve this issue?

Thanks

What if you RDP in to the TFS server and try to run statlight manually? Do you notice anything different there?

Thanks for your answer.

I've run the tests manually and there is no difference. Then I've checked the build server configuration/installations and noticed that the Silverlight 5 Runtime was missing :D(only SDK was installed). After installing the Runtime, the test were running.

Thanks for letting me know what the issue was. 

Happy Testing!
