TF270015: 'MSTest.exe' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '1'

Last week, after upgrading a client from Team Foundation Server 2008 to 2010, I got following error after restoring the build configuration

TF270015: 'MSTest.exe' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '1'

This error message causes the build to fail.I was able to pin down the issue to the following situation:

  • You try to to build a VS 2008 solution and run associated tests from a .vsmdi file on a TFS 2010 Build machine.
  • One or more of the unit tests specified in a test list in the VSMDI file fails.

The problem is that you end up with a build that "partially succeeds" when some unit tests fail, but these test results are not available in the build report. The moment all your tests succeed, the build succeeds also and all test results are published correctly. Unfortunately there is no solution yet, a bug is opened on MSConnect. So hopefully this will be solved in the next Service Pack.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
