I have to run some AutomationUI functional tests from Azure DevOps Pipelines. The tests use a desktop application in WPF/Winforms. The problem is a process of application start but without UI. I run the test using YAML and tasks: VSTest@2 or PowerShell@2. I found exception in Windows Event Viewer:
The description for Event ID 0 from source VSTTExecution cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
(testhost.exe, PID 13060, Thread 3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\TestTypes Key cannot be found!
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table.
I reinstalled the service as was suggested on a forum, but it still not work.
When I run the same tests from PowerShell or Command Line there is no problem.
Where could be a problem? Is there any recommended way to run functional test? I suppose the problem is between Azure DevOps Pipelines and VS test runner, because the same test was running successful by Team City or from PowerShell/Command Line
