I'm creating a wcf test and when the WCF Scenario Test Generation Wizard comes up there is an option to create the scenario called :"Capture the message log" then when I give to it a wcf trace file throws an error: messages.svclog is not a valid message log file

enter image description here

The wcf trace file seems that is not closed :

Are you sure the file is closed? Restart your service and then try again. Those files are appended to all the time. – John Saunders Apr 23 '14 at 21:54
i just had upload an image where it shows that the wcf trace file seems that is not closed, do you know if that could be the reason?. – Marco Antonio Carcini Mora Apr 23 '14 at 22:00
That would be the reason. It's an XML file, and it needs to be closed before it can be read. – John Saunders Apr 23 '14 at 22:02
ok, do you think that there is a problem if the binding is nettcp instead of http ? – Marco Antonio Carcini Mora Apr 23 '14 at 22:13
or do you know how can i close the file? , sorry for the question but I'm new in this. – Marco Antonio Carcini Mora Apr 23 '14 at 22:18

The simplest way is to do an IISRESET. If not, then just restart IIS using the IIS Manager. An interesting cheat is to open the web.config in notepad, type a space, delete it, then save the file. Changing web.config causes a reset of the AppDomain into which the web.config is loaded. Then copy the .svclog file _right away_ before it gets changed again. – John Saunders Apr 23 '14 at 22:32
