    Hi DanH , as far as I can see, you've found a solution working together with the Support Team. 

    After fixing some missing dependencies everything seems to work for you. Great news!

     

    Also, let me quote the Support Team about how the next version of the TestComplete adapter will handle similar situations:

     

    >>

    Because of this error, TestComplete cannot run any tests. The next version of the TestComplete adapter will handle this situation differently: it'll post the exact error message to the log and only exclude the problematic project from running

could you attach some screenshots please?

Do you have the agents configured correctly, and the builds pointing to the agent pool with the online agents?

Do you have the remote repository pointing to the correct level of the directory level? to the .PJS extension and not the .MDS extension?

At which build step is it failing? (in terms of the test components i.e vs installer, testcomplete plugin, vs test assemblies, etc any other plugins)

I have a feeling that it's failing during the vs test assemblies step - where you need to specify within the dropdown the "installed by tools installer option"

after that, you need to provide it elevated permissions (if the tests keep on failing) 

--- try modifying the vs test assemblies tools installer option, and let us know if the problem persists; if so, please add some screenshots from various configuration options, and the build logs, and etc.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Justin,

 

Thanks for your suggestions:  I've just reconfigured the agents and it still works.  I've got a ticket open that I'm working through:  I'll keep you posted how it goes.

 

Thanks again.
