I am setting up a process to build remotely a suite of COBOL programs. A virtual machine has Visual Studio 2017 installed along with a Micro Focus COBOL Enterprise Developer 4.0 Visual Studio 2017 plugin. The programs use CICS as their UI and work with a Microsoft SQL Server backend. Opening a developer command prompt in Visual Studio and issuing a MSBuild command with the solution as the parameter successfully builds the programs. A remote build does not - the error is
MSBUILD : error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Root element is missing.
any ideas?
You need to install the "Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Build tools" on the CI machine.
I have a mstest project that uses Microsoft fake assembly. The test methods are executing fine in my local Visual studio ultimate. I never check in the fake dll in to repository (SVN), assuming that it will be created in the build server (Jenkins). Later I understood that the build server is using MSBuild.exe to build the solution and since MSBuild.exe doesn't know how to create the fake assembly, the build seems failing. Installing the Visual studio ultimate in the build server is the only one option or is there any other ways to execute the unit test (like check in the fake dll in to repository).
You need Visual Studio Ultimate or Visual Studio Premium (if you are using a version later than Visual Studio 2012 Update 2) to be able to generate fakes. Also please make sure that your build script is using vstest.console.exe to execute tests. Fakes is not supported by MSTest.exe
I made an application in Visual Studio 2012 using VB.net language.
I want to make a package or a setup so that any user whether they have visual studios or not can run my application.
I searched on internet and what I found is that there is something like statically or dynamically linking. Do these relate to my question?
Please give me a step by step method of packaging so that my application can run on Windows without needing Visual Studio or any other program to run it.
You will find it in the menu under Build -> Publish.
This will produce an executable that can be run without Visual Studio. The .NET Framework has to be installed on the computer though, but that usually is.
I'm trying to get started on WCF using VS Studio 2012 Express for Web 32bit on a Win7 x64 machine. THe debugger is supposed to launch wcfsvchost.exe to test out my WCF service, but this file is nowhere on my machine. I have tried re-installing VS 2012 and updating to Update 3 but still no sign of this exe on my machine. I cannot find any info on the net indicating this utility is not provided with the Express version of VS.
Any help on what I am missing greatly appreciated.
You need to set few things in the WCF project Properties in order to open the WCFService test Client.
Project-> Right Click -> Debug -> Chooose Start Project radio Button.
and set the following parameter in commandlike argument.
/client:"WcfTestClient.exe"
Our final build server does not have Visual Studio 2010 installed. It uses the MSBuild.exe from the .NET 4 SDK. As part of our code delivery process to our customer we need to allow him to build the projects from the command line on a Visual Studio 'agnostic' server and also to run Code Analysis rules on that machine.
On the visual studio side we started out with AllRules.rules and created exceptions going foreward so naturally we'd like the exceptions to carry over to the code analysis on the build server.
Is this possible ?
Thanks in advance.
Using standalone FxCop you can customize your CI process as you wish. Open this link and go to "Setting up continuous FxCop code analysis" chapter.
Link above seems to be dead now. You can try to look here on this SO question
