MSTest Shenanigans

Posted by Grubersauce

Repeatedly running tests within Visual Studio can get really annoying when you start to see this error: 

 


Or you get a bunch of Inconclusive test results and tests aren't run.  I hate that.
You have to manually go in to task manager and kill the process to be able to run your tests again.

Tim that I work with created a quick PowerShell script to quickly get things up and running again.   Save the PowerShell script off somewhere then create a shortcut to it in your taskbar:

  $ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"
  get-Process VSTestHost | stop-process
  get-process vsperfmon | stop-process

  start-sleep -s 2
