Unable to execute QuickStarts_VSTS_C# project

[Shruti]

Hello All,

I am using test studio from VSTS to record my test.
I am able to record the test successfully but it fails when i try to run it using quick execute.





Log file shows following error message:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I read a similar post "http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/community/forums/test-studio-express/automation-framework/unable-to-execute-quickstarts-vsts-vb-project.aspx" and cross verified my project properties. But it's still not working.
One thing that I didn't find is: You have asked to exclude the app.config file from the project and ten rebuild the  test.]
I didn't find any such file in my project.



Thanks and Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,

The file Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension only applies to Microsoft coded UI tests. It is not used by Test Studio, therefore it does not apply. For some reason your test project has a reference to this file.

If you are using a Visual Studio project, look for and delete the  assembly references outlined in the attached screenshot. If you are using Test Studio standalone and are getting this error, look for the same assembly references according to this documentation and delete them from your Test Studio project. 
 
If you continue to have difficulty, please send us your project into a .zip file so we can review it and definitely say what the problem is.

Greetings,
