Visual Studio Unit Test failure to start
- by swmi
Hi,
I am having an issue when starting the tests under debug mode in Visual Studio 2008 Team Test where it gives the following error:
"Failed to queue test run '{user@machinename}': Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I googled for the error but no joy. Don't even understand what it means as it is too brief. Has anyone come across this?
Note that I can run tests fine if I am not debugging and I get the same error irrespective of the test I run.
Thank you,
Swati
ETA:
Being new to Visual Studio Team Test, I didn't know there was a better exception log then what I was seeing. Anyhow, here it is:
<Exception>
