I have configured a Load Test project in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and I'm trying to add Performance Data from Application Insights so we can have more data on what's happening with the application at the time of the test. So when I right click on the Run Settings:
After I click that:
Please note that we have Azure services and Visual Studio Team Services. Although I'm not the one administrating these I can still recommend what to do or I might request and get permissions, but I'm not sure what to request!
The API .NET project already has Application Insights integration, but I don't know how to read that data in the Load Test project.
What are we missing?
First, please make sure you have configured multiple instances of Application Insights from within the azure portal. When you use the load testing to add an application it would goes to the configured vsts account and try to connect.
Please manually add the application insight to your application and try again. Take a look at below tutorials, which should be helpful:

I going to login xamarin account in VS 2017
what is this an error?
At this time it is generally no longer necessary to use the old Xamarin account login, so it is recommended to move away from that old login mechanism as soon as you can.
If you are attempting to log in to use the Xamarin Component Store, note that it is recommended to migrate to corresponding NuGet packages at this time: https://blog.xamarin.com/hello-nuget-new-home-xamarin-components/.
If you are logging in to use Xamarin features, note that starting with the Xamarin versions released in March 2016, you no longer need to log in to a Xamarin account to use Xamarin features. Visual Studio will automatically provide Xamarin features based on your Visual Studio subscription level.
If you have a special case where those 2 pieces of information don't resolve the issue, you can reach out via a support incident for further assistance.
I am following a series of instructions to deploy a mobile backend using Azure Mobile Services.
As part of that workflow I get to download a personalized backend app which downloads as Visual studio solution.
It builds fine and the next step is to publish it to Azure.
Instead of seeing the choice below (Microsoft Azure App Service) I am seeing 2 different choices
Microsoft Azure Web Apps, or
Microsoft Azure API Apps (Preview).
So, I chose the closest option (Web Apps) provided and it logs me into Azure and in a box which reports existing web apps I see none.
Yet I've deployed a mobile app in the Azure portal earlier.
In some of what I've been reading online it mentions a Publisher profile. I am just a bit stumped by not getting the "Microsoft Azure App Service" choice when I go to publish my backend to the cloud.
Here is the tutorial/guide which I am following (January 2016).
Perhaps the VS/Azure integration has changed since then or maybe I've more configuration steps missing.
Azure .NET mobile backend using Azure Mobile Services
Any guidance would be hugely welcome.
At this stage I am stuck as far as what I need to do to get my mobile backend published to Azure.
You have got an older version of the Azure SDK installed. The latest version of the Azure SDK provides the Azure App Service publish dialog.
I think I've solved this for now.
I was able to download a publish profile from the Azure Console which I could import within the "publish" dialog in VS2015.
I now have the mobile app up and running in Azure.
Xamarin is free now right ? but my Xamarin account is still at the 'paid' business level until it runs out - fine - whatever.
However, I work disconnected from the internet quite often, and an incredibly annoying thing has started happening - Xamarin has been refusing to build my projects because it has been unable to verify my account. It does it several times a day, and I have to try and find some way of getting an internet connection in order to build my apps.
I could log out of my Xamarin account, and Xamarin Studio reverts to the 'community' edition, but then I cant use components etc.
Does anyone know why this is suddenly happening, and why Xamarin would refuse to build software even though the tools are free - whether you have a business account or not.
I downloaded Xamarin studio from their website and installed it. After installation I got a Xamarin Studio (old) and a new one. The new one did not had this problem.
I'm trying to follow a tutorial on Azure deployment. I'm stuck on one of the first steps creating the App Service. It seams that the form tries to find all App Service Plans but can't, so all of Visual Studio hangs. I had to kill it with Task Manager. Any clues on how I can fix this? Do I need to create something at the Azure management console?
Had the same issue, turned out I hadn't installed Azure SDK, you'd think there would be some kind of error message, but no. Installing the SDK fixed issue
I did the steps below to resolve the issue.
Login to your Azure account
Manually create an app service (use any dummy app service name). The service plan and resource group will be created while you're creating this app service
Once you see the dummy app service created on your Azure dashboard (it will take around 1-2 minutes), open your visual studio from your pc, create your web project and check api service
--- This time, the service plan and resource group will be brought in.---
Click "Create" to create your "real" web/api project in Azure
Now you can remove the dummy service from Azure
I had the same problem. It started to work after I logged into the Azure Dashboard and manually created an App Services Web App.
Ran into the same issue a few days ago and here is how I got it working.
I had yet to create any App Services in the Azure account I had tied to Visual Studio and when I got to the Create App Service window you posted, Visual Studio would freeze.
I logged into the Azure Portal, created an App Service with a different name than the project. Once it was created, I then deleted the newly created App Service.
After doing this had no problem freezing in Visual Studio. The fix appears to be to create at least one App Service in portal before it works in VS.
I did two things at once, not sure which one got through the lock up.
1) In Visual Studio, went to File -> Account Settings then under the "All Accounts" section of the Account Settings window I reentered my credentials for the Azure account I had linked the project to. This account had a notification raised saying "We need to refresh the credentials for this account."
2) As others have said, I created a new Web App. I'm not sure this was the problem, however - I had previously created a couple other web apps and these resources were still present in my dashboard.
I have to agree with the above comments, too - the error messages provided for this are really, really poor.
Check that there are no characters that it will not accept. For instance an underscore '_'
Azure built a dummy name for me to use including an underscore which it does not accept. It was trial and error for me to find this where a simple warning would have saved lots of time.
Login to Azure Portal and create necessary resources. VS screens do not seem to work properly.
I created Api App on azure portal and my problem solved.
Same problem, however I have 3 Azure subscriptions, but even after making sure all of'em has at least one App Service it still hangs on this step. No other option than to not check the option to host.
Updating Azure SDK on VS2015 fix the problem in my case
