I'm new to the subject of windows drivers. I'm trying to build one of the Windows-driver-samples in Visual Studio 2015. The compilation and linking steps pass without errors and then I get the following error:
TRACKER : error TRK0002: Failed to execute command:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\inf2cat.exe"
/os:10_x64 /driver:x64\Debug\WFPSamplerCalloutDriver\".
The operation identifier is not valid.
(Note the relative path in /driver argument). If I call Inf2Cat manually from command prompt with full path to the driver, it passes without a hitch:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86>Inf2Cat.exe /os:10_x64
/driver:C:\Users\****\Windows-driver-samples\network\trans\WFPSampler\sys\x64\Debug\W
FPSamplerCalloutDriver
...........................
Signability test complete.
Errors:
None
Warnings:
None
Catalog generation complete.
C:\Users\****\Windows-driver-samples\network\trans\WFPSampler\sys\x64\Debug
\WFPSamplerCalloutDriver\wfpsamplercalloutdriver.cat
So, it seems to me that VS somehow failed to provide the full path to the driver in the argument to Inf2Cat.
How can I fix this? Which configuration property of my project is incorrect?
Description
Seems Inf2Cat from SDK10 does not accept directory path format provided by VS Project Configurator. Works when: either output folder name has with no trailing "\" or folder name ends up with "\.".
Workaroud
Disable Inf2Cat under Project Preferences: Run Inf2Cat -> No
Configure build events under Build-Events->Post Build-Event: Command Line -> "$(WindowsSdkDir)bin\$(DDKPlatform)\inf2cat.exe" /os:10_$(DDKPlatform) /driver:"$(ProjectDir)$(IntDir)$(MSBuildProjectName)"

I am doing some work on cordova-windows (https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows), which is using AppVeyor for testing on Windows. One of the things that was missing, were tests with Visual Studio 2017 (only VS2015 was used to test before). So I added those and it works like a charm - mostly.
Unfortunately we now have a very strange test failure:

The process cannot access the file 'Default.rd.xml' because it is being used by another process. [C:\projects\cordova-windows\testcreate ??\CordovaApp.Windows10.jsproj]
This is not happening when I run the tests locally, meaning I can in no way reproduce what is going on here.
Any idea what process could block this Default.rd.xml file or build\windows\bld\PackageUploadLayout\?
How can I find out in a CI environment like AppVeyor?
Update:
Investigated a bit more by adding /clp:Verbosity=normal to the msbuild calls that are executed.
It runs a similar msbuild call 3 times (once per architecture). The first one succeeds, but during the second one the failure occurs. Makes sense as in the first iteration the folder doesn't exist yet, which it confirms with this output: Directory "build\windows\bld\PackageUploadLayout\" doesn't exist. Skipping..
The last output before the failure then is Removing directory "build\windows\bld\PackageUploadLayout\". which matches what we get in the error message. No indicator why the removing doesn't work though.
Super strange: With /clp:Verbosity=detailed added to the msbuild call, the build actually succeeds! My guess: Because the output takes time, whatever is having a lock on the folder or file releases it.
This is not exactly an answer, but rather investigation report. It is just not enough room comments to describe it. Here is what I did:
forked your repo
created AppVeyor project
added RDP
connected with RDP
installed procmon
added filter to monitor objects which path ends with bld\PackageUploadLayout\Properties\Default.rd.xml
run npm test manually from CMD
When the same error happened I see this:
I am not sure I understand why msbuild failed this way. I opened SHARING VIOLATION event, switched to process and see this:
What catches my eye is that msbuild version is 14. Should be 15 on Visual Studio 2017 image. We have version 14 installed for specific scenarios but default one is 15 (run where msbuild and you will see C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe). I am not sure where this path is set in your scripts, but I feel if you make it run correct msbuild version this may help.
I am having a problem when trying to run a VS10 test suite through OpenCover, using mstest as my target application.
Running the tests directly with MsTest works with this command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /resultsfile:"<application_root_path>\UnitTestResults\MyProject.vsmdi.trx" /testmetadata:"MyProject.vsmdi" /testlist:"ServiceTests" /testlist:"DatabaseTests"
However, when trying to run the same command under OpenCover, like this:
OpenCover\Opencover.console.exe -register:user -target:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" -targetargs:"/resultsfile:"<application_root_path>\UnitTestResults\MyProject.vsmdi.trx" /testmetadata:"MyProject.vsmdi" /testlist:"ServiceTests" /testlist:"DatabaseTests"" -output:<application_root_path>\UnitTestResults\Coverage
it fails, with the following error, regarding the .vsmdi.trx file (which I gather should be created by MsTest after the tests run):
Error occurred while loading document '<application_root_path>\UnitTestResults\MyProject.vsmdi.trx'.
Code: 0x800c0006
The system cannot locate the object specified.
So, basically, it complains that it cannot find the results file, before running the tests, but that file is supposed to be created at the end of the run.
Might this be an issue related to OpenCover, as the same params work when running directly with mstest?
I checked my paths and they all work out, even the one in the error is the path where the file should be generated by mstest.
Thanks.
It looks like you may need to escape your quotes when passing your data via targetargs
-targetargs:"/resultsfile:"<application...""
becomes
-targetargs:"/resultsfile:\"<application...\""
as detailed in the wiki on handling spaces.
Alternatively put your command to execute your tests in a cmd/bat file and then use opencover to execute that.
I'm trying to install Ant on Windows 7 using these instructions, but at stage 5, when I run the command ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system, I get the following error:

Total time: 1 second
I understand that the URL is not reachable, so I tried to enter this URL into my browser, and indeed it does not exist. I found the file maven-artifact-ant-2.0.4-dep.jar at:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/maven/maven-artifact-ant/2.0.4/maven-artifact-ant-2.0.4-dep.jar
instead. So how can I fix this problem?
Just need to update the m2.url property in the lib/library.properties file to http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2.
Run ANT as follows
$ ant -f $ANT_HOME/fetch.xml -Ddest=user -Dm2.url=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
The m2.url property needs to be overloaded. The following property file in ANT needs to be updated:
$ANT_HOME/lib/libraries.properties
Using a now deprecated Maven Central URL
The URL is correct, but you're trying to download the files into a subfolder of Program Files (C:\Program Files\WinAnt\lib). To do so you need to be running your commands with Administrator rights.
So right click on your Command Prompt shortcut and select "run as administrator" or enter "cmd" into the search field of the start menu and press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER.
Then try to run the ant command again:
ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system
And if you have trouble downloading any other files using the script, it seems to work well to just download them using your browser, put them in the right place, and then edit fetch.xml to not download the file.
I'm using team explorer under vs2010 to queue a build that is configured to run an automated test after the build. The automated test section is configured to use a vsmdi file that defines one testlist with one generic test that only opens calc.exe.
Looking in the log, after the successful build, mstest generates the following error log and calc is not running on the build agent:

Starting execution...
Test GenericTest1 cannot be found.
No tests to execute.
I've tried all possible ways to get the generic test to run after the build with no success...
Nothing about this on msdn\google,
Thank you for any clue you can think of.
You need full Visual Studio installed to recognise the filetype
I haven't used generic tests myself, but from the msdn documentation it looks like they have to be treated as test containers.
In your build definition, change the process to use a test container and use ***.generictest instead of ***test*.dll and see if that works.
As a note, if you are firing up a GUI tool like calc.exe, then your build server will need to be running interactively otherwise you'll have test failures.
I get a build failure due to a post build event failure when building Notepad++ in VS 2010.

Please help
Posting the answer for others who might run into this issue
After a little research on this subject,
I learned that the XML file names that are specified in the projects Post-Build Event have changed, so you have to update that to use the new file-names
You can fix this by modifying the project file like this:
In Visual Studio,
Select the Project (Notepad++) and choose Project > Properties from VS Menu (or hit ALT + F7)
In the Property Pages window,
expand the Configuration Properties node
then, expand the Build Events node
Select Post-Build Event to view its properties
Modify the Command Line Property to look like this:
copy ..\src\config.model.xml ..\bin\config.model.xml
copy ..\src\langs.model.xml ..\bin\langs.model.xml
copy ..\src\stylers.model.xml ..\bin\stylers.model.xml
Click OK and Build away...
Also, be careful of spaces in the path. I just wasted a half hour convincing myself that the paths in a Pre-Build copy step were indeed correct (they were).
Got bitten by spaces in the path. Instead of copy d:\a path\*.dll d:\b path\ you want to quote it, like this:
copy "d:\a path\\*.dll" "d:\b path\"
Not specific to Notepad++ but I had a similar problem with a recent post-build step. When you see...
PostBuildEvent: The system cannot find the file specified.
..your source path is wrong. In my case I was using the wrong relative source path. And this fixed it:
copy /Y $(TargetName).* $(ProjectDir)..\Latest
