msbuild - TFS build - "content" build type files not present in a unit test's \out folder? -


i have solution containing unit test project , various other projects (which unit tests references). 1 of these projects references assembly in turn depends on native interop dll, i've added project build action of "content", , "copy always".

i can build , run unit tests fine on pc, fail during tfs (2012) build. in can see interop dll in server's \build\...\bin\ folder, it's not in \build\...\tst\[test_name]\out\ folder.

i assume tfs trying clever copying thinks unit test's dependencies? i've tried adding interop dll unit test project (in same manner above), makes no difference. i've tried adding [deploymentitem] attribute 1 of unit tests (to copy interop dll), doesn't seem work.

i figured out, although wasn't obvious. default, tfs build creates 3 subfolders:- \bin, \src , \tst. latter test project , dependencies copied (to \out subfolder), interop dll won't copied isn't managed project dependency. this isn't problem on dev pc - when unit test project built, visual studio honours interop dll's "copy always" option (even though it's in different project), ensuring gets copied unit test project's \bin folder.

i tried [deploymentitem] attribute didn't have luck - there conflicting articles paths relative to, , seems have have .testsettings file present work. after spending long time checking-in , testing sorts of permutations, never had success this.

i tried deploying files using .testsettings file ("deployment" tab). complicate things, interop dll must reside in subfolder under \bin folder (it's sqlite.interop.dll, if interested). .testsettings deployment tab doesn't seem honour folder structure, interop dll copied \tst\out folder, rather required subfolder.

in end, able configure build run unit tests tfs server's \bin folder, works in comparable way dev pc:-

  1. create .testsettings file , add solution. in properties dialog, "deployment" tab, ticked "enable deployment" checkbox. don't specify files on tab.

  2. check file in tfs, edit build definition , set process -> automated tests -> test assembly -> run settings file accordingly.

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
