Publish Operation Failed for Custom Test Type

• VJM

  Thanks very much for your help! I did as you advised, and now I can publish the test results from my custom test type.
  
  Sincerely,

  TIP = Test Information Provider
  To have a TIP installed = the DLL is registered in the registry to allow TFS to locate those test types when someone publishes with them.

  Well, this sounds like the solution to my problem, if I could only figure out what TIP means and where it is installed.

  Could you help me on that matter

  TIA

  Hi there,
  
  I have installed the TIP on Visual Studio 2005 (I can see the custom test type when I click on "New Test..." under the Test menu).
  
  Is there documentation somewhere that shows how to register the TIP on the application tier for Team Foundation Server I appreciate your help.
  
  Thanks,
  Jennie

  The custom TIP needs to be installed on the Application Tieir -- without this, we can't de-serialise the types in the TRX file.

  Hi,

  Are you able to publish straight unit tests
  If not, can you try following the steps details here

  Yours,
  Dominic

  Jennie,
  
  The possible reason I can think of is the permission is not set correctly on the drop share. It should grant Full control to Everyone for the Permissions and grant full control on the Security for the service account.
  
  Thanks,
  James

  Hi James,
  
  I checked the permissions on the drop share; they are as you specified. Also, I can publish other test types like Web Tests successfully.
  
   I can view the test results of the custom test type when opening the trx file. I just can't seem to publish it. I appreciate any suggestions.
  
  Thanks,
  Jennie

  Excuse me, but...

  Can you be more specific I've created my first app with tests. I've created a function and a test function respectively. After that I've created a list test, used by myBuild in Team Builds.

  This was all created in my local machine. However, I've installed Visual Studio in TFS Application Server. It's in that machine that I want to run tests.

  This is the log from build:

  Publish operation failed.

  What do I need to copy from my machine to server

  Thanks in advance,

  Not really -- this is something we're working on.
  
  The best way right now is to Steal the reg keys from the client you have registered the TIP on, and import them into the server.
  
  Additionally, you need to place the TIP Binaries in:
  
  %TfsInstallDir%\Web Services\Build\bin
  and
  %TfsInstallDir%\Web Services\Warehouse\bin\Plugins
  
  Once you've done that, it should all work.
