i have problem with TFS build, all time its failed with different type of errors, i resolved mostly, but still there are errors, i am not sure why these are and how these will resolve. i am sorry i can not explain more in detail.
error 1

Visual Studio 2019 is not detecting or discovering NUNit nor MSTest unit tests at all. I installed it fresh just a week ago. The MS guide here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/getting-started-with-unit-testing?view=vs-2019&tabs=mstest does not work.
A few threads hold possible solutions, but none that I've tried helped have helped. I'm new to C# so much of the steps have taken a long time to figure out, but while my application is progressing nicely I really want to work and learn in a TDD style.
Even if a create a new blank MSTest project, with no application code or libs in the solution at all, the example/template project does not work, so I'm missing something big someplace. (I have .NET Core SDKs installed - my intent is to target macOS and linux at a future point.)

Threads I have tried: Tests not running in Test Explorer Why will Visual Studio 2019 will not run my unit tests? Visual Studio 2019 Test Explorer puts all tests under "Not Run Tests"
If I create a project targeting .NET 4.7 all is good, it's when I want to target Core that I'm unstuck, if that helps.
Stuck again
I had to install a component called "NUnit 3", https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NUnitDevelopers.NUnitTemplatesforVisualStudio worked for a moment... but when I added a testcase, it all broke again.
Did the nuget package updates, still not working.
I cloned. from git this project https://github.com/dotnet/samples/tree/master/core/getting-started/unit-testing-using-nunit
And it does not work either.
I then re-installed 2019, and emailed my project to a friend, who merely removed the nunit nuget modules, added them back and then it worked for him, but the project he sent me back did not work. Module versions unchanged
I opened the same project in the Microsoft developer VM/iso image and the project works just fine. so it's my environment that is incompatible with nunit somehow. Is there a way to see some traces?
Changed the installation drive from D: to C: I get this error now
Testhost process exited with error: A fatal error occurred, the required library hostfxr.dll could not be found.
If this is a self-contained application, that library should exist in [C:\Users\zapho\src\c#\tutorials\working\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\NUnit.Tests2\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\].
If this is a framework-dependent application, install the runtime in the default location [C:\Program Files\dotnet] or use the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable to specify the runtime location.

You need to add the Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk NuGet package to your solution to run tests in Visual Studio.
Modify your project file,
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
<IsPackable>false</IsPackable>
<LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

<PackageReference Include="NUnit3TestAdapter" Version="3.17.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.9.1" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
Fixed it by eventually setting environment variable
DOTNET_ROOT=D:\Program Files\dotnet\

We have a project that is housed in Visual Studio Online and we're trying to deploy it to Azure. When the build executed, we got an error about a missing nuget package. In VS, nuget did report that a package was missing and I restored it but we continue to get an error in VSO (the app compiles without error and if I deploy directly from VS to Azure, it works).
So I opened the vbproj file and in the last section, I see this:
<Target Name="EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
<PropertyGroup>
<ErrorText>This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is {0}.</ErrorText>
</PropertyGroup>
<Error Condition="!Exists('..\theprojectfolder\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\SMDTalentLink\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.props'))" />
<Error Condition="!Exists('..\theprojectfolder\packages\Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.1.0.0\build\Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.props')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '..\SMDTalentLink\packages\Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.1.0.0\build\Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.props'))" />
While the package has been restored, it seems that VS hasn't deleted the error. VSO sees the error and won't compile the package. Can I delete this or do I need to edit it somehow? I'm not familiar with the proj files and am afraid I'll make things worse.
Removing the items does fix the issue. Unclear why VS didn't fix it.
Is there any setting in VS2013 to allow all packages to be updated when the solution opens or builds?
I've seen the restore option which is supposed to work but I dont believe it updates with latest, even if it worked. https://docs.nuget.org/consume/package-restore
My requirement is that our users need not manually update all but that they must always get the latest.
I've had a solution that is missing packages. Got them added manually though along with references from local server. Nuget site was down too, that might be an issue.
I read somewhere that devs should us the "Allow Nuget to download missing packages" instead of the older Nuget.config solution. But doing this only updates missing packages it does not update with the latest automatically.
it also adds this to the project file
<Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets" Condition="Exists('$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets')" /> <Target Name="EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">

According to the NuGet Documentation, NuGet package restore should "just work" with TFS 2013.
It's not.
When the build machine runs, it gives me the following error (where it can't find Newtonsoft.Json)
Program.cs (5): The type or namespace name 'Newtonsoft' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
This is with a brand new project, on TFS 2013 using the default template(TfvcTemplate.12.xaml). I'm using VS 2013. Honestly, I'm new to TFS so I'm not sure what a build log should look like, but mine looks like this:

Does anyone know anything about this?
The issue turned out to be that we had an internal Nuget package feed. The issue was fixed by adding a nuget.config file to the root of the solution folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageRestore>
<add key="enabled" value="True" />
</packageRestore>
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
<add key="InternalFeed" value="https://our.nuget.com" />
</packageSources>
<activePackageSource>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
</activePackageSource>
</configuration>
Are you sure that Package Restore is enabled in the Visual Studio on your Build Server? The Build Server can reach nuget.org? You can open the TestApp.sln on your Build Server and try to compile this manually. Does this work?
I am using PostSharp and I have the following target description in my project file:
<Target Name="EnsurePostSharpImported" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(PostSharp30Imported)' == ''">
<Error Condition="!Exists('..\..\packages\PostSharp.3.1.33\tools\PostSharp.targets')" Text="This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://www.postsharp.net/links/nuget-restore." />
<Error Condition="Exists('..\..\packages\PostSharp.3.1.33\tools\PostSharp.targets')" Text="The build restored NuGet packages. Build the project again to include these packages in the build. For more information, see http://www.postsharp.net/links/nuget-restore." />
</Target>
As far as I understand, this is added to the project when PostSharp is referenced through NuGet, and the error conditions check the following:
The first error condition breaks the build when PostSharp is not available (i.e. NuGet did not restore it successfully).
The second error condition breaks the build when PostSharp was successfully restored by NuGet on the last build but was therefore not included in the project, so therefore a rebuild is necessary.
BUT, if I have the following configuration in NuGet.Config and .csproj file, is the second error condition even necessary?
NuGet.Config file:
<configuration>
<packageRestore>
<!-- Allow NuGet to download missing packages -->
<add key="enabled" value="True" />
<!-- Automatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio -->
<add key="automatic" value="True" />
</packageRestore>
...
</configuration>
.csproj file:
<RestorePackages>true</RestorePackages>
As far as I understand, NuGet will then restore the missing packages BEFORE the build even starts. The second error condition will essentially break the build for no reason at all.
Note: I am using Visual Studio 2013 and NuGet 2.8.
It depends on how the restore is done and which version of NuGet you have installed. It looks like the error messages are trying to cover three scenarios:
Building without the MSBuild based package restore enabled (which is configured inside Visual Studio by right clicking the solution and selecting Enable Package restore).
Building outside of Visual Studio when the MSBuild based package restore is not enabled.
Building with Visual Studio using an old version of NuGet which does not support the automatic restore before a build.
If you are using the MSBuild based package restore then the restore will occur during the build and the PostSharp files will not be imported at this point so the $(PostSharp30Imported) will be empty and the second error message will be displayed. At least I suspect that is the case.
If you building from the command line and not using the MSBuild based package restore then you would see the first error message if the NuGet packages were missing.
If you are not using the MSBuild based package restore, and are building from within Visual Studio with a recent version of NuGet, then you are correct that the packages will be restored before anything is built at all. So the PostSharp imports should be available to MSBuild before it is even executed.
As PostSharp dlls are required during msbuild loading (so targets referencing this dlls are available during build) they must be available during final call to msbuild.
While in VS it is acceptable to click build twice, I was using PostSharp in CI environment, and requirement to call build on solution two times was frustrating (first build restore nugets but also failed build due to error).
I ended up with separate build steps:
Restore nuget Packages (this downloads PostSharp packages and return success code to environment):
NuGet.exe restore SolutionWithProjectsUsingPostSharp.sln
Build solution.
You need to edit the second error condition in the target in the csproj
<Target Name="EnsurePostSharpImported" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(PostSharp30Imported)' == ''">
<Error Condition="!Exists('....\packages\PostSharp.3.1.33\tools\PostSharp.targets')" Text="This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://www.postsharp.net/links/nuget-restore." />
<Error Condition="Exists('....\packages\PostSharp.3.1.33\tools\PostSharp.targets')" Text="The build restored NuGet packages. Build the project again to include these packages in the build. For more information, see http://www.postsharp.net/links/nuget-restore." />
</Target>>
I have answered in detail in a different post at SO
We are using 'old' MSBuild-Integrated package restore ( .nuget\NuGet.targets file is present) and normally do not store in source control packages, but rely on build to restore them for each build.
But for PostSharp on TeamCity build server I am getting error :
The build restored NuGet packages. Build the project again to include
these packages in the build.
The simplest way is to explicitly include in source control packages\PostSharp.VerXXX.
Alternatively solution could be migrating to automatic package restore,
as it was advised in Issue Using PostSharp 3.x with NuGet Auto Restore
Right click on the solution, Manage Nuget packages; and remove the packages you dont want .
This error also shows up , when trying to restore the packages from the web. Just connect your self to the internet and then try opening the project.
The errors went away for me on following the above steps.
