Azure-pipelines-tasks: Failed to publish test results: Could not find file '/vsts/agent/bin/.trx;]

Created on 25 Jul 2018 · 8Comments · Source: microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks

Troubleshooting

At publish Test Results task, it gives the following error: Failed to publish test results: Could not find file '/vsts/agent/bin/.trx;]'.

My guess is because the file name has [1].trx

Generated files:
_eae454084d75_2018-07-25_21_06_50.trx
_eae454084d75_2018-07-25_21_06_50[1].trx

The file trx is generated by dotnet test with multiples tests projects, this is why the [1]
dotnet test -r /TestResults -l "trx"

Environment

Server - TFS on-premises 2018.1
Agent - Hosted or Private:
Docker: microsoft/vsts-agent:ubuntu-16.04-docker-17.12.0-ce-standard

Issue Description

Failed to publish test results: Could not find file '/vsts/agent/bin/.trx;]

I encountered the same issue. Easiest work-around is to simply run a command line task of
rename 's/[\[,\]]/_/g' *.trx
before the publish phase (so long as you are using Debian/Ubuntu based build agents).

same here but on windows

i used powershell becasue windows rename isnt that smart:

Get-ChildItem $(TestResults) -filter '*.trx' -Recurse | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace '([\[\]])','' }

@elvisFabian I'm able to reproduce the bug. The issue was in one of the dependencies of Publish test results task which was used to search matching files. The issue was present in Publish test results task version 2.0.1. The issue is fixed in the next update of TFS. Till then you can strip off the problem-causing characters from file name.
