Hi,

We are evaluating final builder server 7 on windows 2008 R2 (under hyper-v).

I have noticed that when we run a build through the server and the tests fail we will set this:

&nbsp;

Executing external process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe

Starting Directory: C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles\LookserverIncrementalCheckout\Source\Release\

Parameters: /testcontainer:C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles\LookserverIncrementalCheckout\Source\Release\looksoftware.tests.dll /resultsfile:C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles\LookserverIncrementalCheckout\TestResults.trx /nologo /detail:errormessage

Output from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe

Loading C:\ProgramData\VSoft\FBServer7\ProjectFiles\LookserverIncrementalCheckout\Source\Release\looksoftware.tests.dll...

Action Failed

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe returned : 1001

The test output seems to be missing. If I do this through final builder 7 then it gives me the test output (which contains errors).

Is anyone aware of issues relating to final builder server being unable to capture error output.

I also noticed that this seems to stop the build (which indicates success) even though there are still tests to run (the test task has the 'Ignore Failure' checked).

Thank-you

&nbsp;

&nbsp;Hi Simon,

We've had a similar problem reported with VB6 compilation: in certain circumstances the error output isn't appearing in the FinalBuilder Server log, but it works as expected when running FinalBuilder manually. I had thought it was something specific with the VB6 action, but this appears to indicate that it could be more general.

I'll investigate and get back to you.

Cheers,

Ben

I believe that this issue is actually the result of a timeout:&nbsp;[Unexpected build failures under devenv.com (VS2010)](https://www.finalbuilder.com/Default.aspx?tabid=456&aft=10093)
