run tests from msbuild script - mstest

Is there a sample script that runs tests in a solution from msbuild script. I am using MSBuild 4.4 and visual studio 2010. Thanks.

Unit tests are run with the MSTest.exe utility. You could execute it from MSBuild.

command line solution build using devenv rebuilding more projects than visual studio solution build

I am trying to mimic visual studio solution build from command prompt using batch script but there is significant difference between manual solution build(ctrl+shift+b) inside visual studio and command line solution build using devenv in terms of project rebuild counts. More projects are getting rebuilt from command line in comparison to visual studio solution build.
I am using this for command line build in batch file:
call"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\MicrosoftVisualStudio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"
devenv solution_name.sln /build "Debug"
command line solution build output looks like this: devenv solution build using cmd prompt
visual studio solution build output looks like this: manual vs solution build output
I have tried changing the configurations too but it didn't help, I am curious why this might be happening and is there a way to get same result from command line build as of manual vs solution build?

Visual Studio Unit Test fails in command prompt but passes in IDE

I have a Visual Studio project which passes my tests when I run them in the IDE.
When I try to run the same tests using VCTest.Console some of the tests fail even though they should pass.
I run the command prompt by running Deverloper Command Prompt for VS 2022 as admin and then navigate to my .dll test files and use the command: VSTest.Console file.dll

Jenkins - Visual Studio Command line arguments

Planning to Build & Deploy SSIS Projects(ISPAC) or Database Solutions (DAPAC) from Jenkins using Visual Studio Command line arguments.
Question: I know i can execute Windows batch commands but i would like to if i can execute Visual Studio Commands as well.
FYI: Planning to install Visual Studio on the Agent.
I think you will be able to do it using msbuild. If your SSIS solution can be compiled by Visual Studio, the msbuild command can do it as well (See also msbuild integration).
To utilize msbuild to create an ispac/dapac file take a look at this article. It's not Jenkins specific but that should not matter.

How to fire a build from visual studio 2010 using ant?

I want to automatically build my project using ant.
Each and every time I am doing it manually.
Can any one please tell me how to start a build using ant in visual studio 2010?
Hi i have done using the command prompt .
TFSBuild start /collection:"http://milagan2008svr:8080/" /builddefinition:"EvolveNET 2010\EvolveNET" /droplocation:"\\milagan2008svr\Builds\EvolveNET 2010" /priority:"High" /login:usr,passwd
So with ant i used <exec> of ant command to fire a build. This solved my problem :)

PowerShell Script To build Visual Studio Project

Is there any powershell script exist to build visual studio project without open visual studio?
You don't even need power shell or visual studio. Just use the msbuild program installed with .Net. Usage example is like this:
msbuild DBMigration.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug
msbuild is located at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 (or select your version)
There is also a powershell build system, https://github.com/JamesKovacs/psake
