Getting an error while loading projects in a VS2010 solution which was opened with Telerik UI Test Studio Dev Studio installed

[Jason dalrymple]

There appears to be a dependency created for projects in a solution which has been opened and saved on a machine where WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition was installed.

On a machine when this wasn't installed, I get the message:  Unable to read the project 'EFExtensions.csproj'..   The imported project "C:\ProgramFiles\MSBuild\Telerik\WebUITestStudio\Telerik.WebUITEstStudio.Targets" was not found.  Confirm the path in the <import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

We have only one copy of WebUI Test Studio, and 3 developers who are not using this product, but have to work with the code.

Please assist.

Thanks,

Hello Jason,

Indeed, that's expected. The test project you work on adds that dependency. We resolve that on each machine having WebUI Test Studio installed so unless you have that file at the specified location, the project could not be opened.

I suppose this brings a problem for your developers because you share the solution via source control, is that correct? I think the best solution for your case will be to exclude the project from that solution so that the devs won't get this warning anymore. You can add the test project in a separate solution instead.

Kind regards,

Why are ALL my projects modified with the following:

<Import Condition="true" Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Telerik\WebUITestStudio\Telerik.WebUITestStudio.targets" />

This includes projects that do not have tests in them.

Hello Jason,

This build task is responsible for the elements generation so we need it in any VS test project including WebUI Test Studio tests. The import is included on adding a new WebAii Test.

If you projects no longer have these tests (you've excluded or deleted the test(s)) feel free to delete this statement from the project file.

Sincerely yours,

The problem I am reporting (with the right login this time) is because projects that NEVER had any WebUI Test Studio tests were modified.

That's a bug.

Hello Daniel,

That is not expected for sure and unfortunately we are not aware of how this could happen.

So just to clarify, if you create a new test or any other type of project in a new solution you always get the import statement included in your project? And that's without doing anything else with that project?

Can you please share some details about your environment like OS and Visual Studio version installed? Are there any Microsoft software updates pending on that machine? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Best wishes,
