running a UWP test project in azure devops fails due to missing AppxManifest under ilc folder

0 votes

I am using the windows-2019 agent with this step:

- task: VSTest@2
  displayName: Run UnitTests
  inputs:
    testSelector: 'testAssemblies'
    testAssemblyVer2: |
      **/Release/x64/UnitTests.build.appxrecipe
    searchFolder: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)'

in the log, I can see it's launching the test with something like this:

 vstest.console.exe "D:\a\1\drop\Release\x64\UnitTests.build.appxrecipe"  

Next, it fails with this error:

[error]Failed to launch testhost with error: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\a\1\s\drop\Release\x64\ilc\AppxManifest.xml'. ##[debug]Processed: ##vso[task.logissue type=error;]Failed to launch testhost with error: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred.

I am not sure why it is happening, because, in my local machine, I can run vstest.console.exe against the appxreceipt that is built from my local environment.

I do not have the ilc subfolder locally. The AppxManifest.xml is actually in the same folder as the appxrecipe file, why is Azure DevOps looking for it in a subfolder?

The unit test runs and passes locally, but just can't run in azure DevOps. Does anyone know about this error message? 


Update

Later I copied from another folder, so now the test run folder has an ilc subfolder with the AppxManifest.xml. I printed the entire directory tree and I can see the file.

Unfortunately, I am still seeing the error:
