No process is associated with this object

I created a new Testing project for my solution and when I go to run the tests they all abort. When click on the "Test Run Error" I get 0/2 tests passed, 2 failed, 0 skiped. In the "More Info" section I get "No process is associated with this object." I can't figure what is going on with this error. I've deleted and recreated the testing project in the solution several times and always have the same result. Please help!!

Is this with a simple Test Project? Eg:
Start IDE
File/New Project/<Language>/Test/Test Project
Show Test View (Test/Windows/Test View)
Click TestMethod1
Run test

Does it still fail then?

I created a new test project like you recommended it still fails then with the exact same error. Hopefully that is useful information. Thanks for helping to try and figure this out.

Anson,

Do you have anti-spyware installed and running? This could cause the problem you saw.

This seems to be an installation problem. Can you make sure that the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\vstesthost.exe exists. Also can you check registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\HostProcessLocation.

Thanks,
Michael

Both of those items check out. File exists and registry entry you pointed me to exists and has the correct location. Is it time to think about doing a repair of the Visual Studio installation or do you have any other thoughts? Thanks again for your help

Is that to say that you Don't have Microsoft AntiSpyware installed? We have seen this issue show up before when you have Microsoft AntiSpyware, so want to make sure that it's out of the question as part of our investigation.

That is correct, I do not have any AntiSpyware product installed. My virus software is AVG 7.0.322. I've been able to successfully run unit tests before from the IDE, it's just something that has happened recently that's caused the problem.

Hi Anson,

A couple of suggestions:

1. Can you post the entire contents of the Test Results window? It may help.

2. You may want to review the output of your anti-virus software to see if any processes are being killed around the same time you run your tests. Perhaps something similar to the SpyWare issue mentioned earlier is happening.

If you were able to run tests on the same machine in the past I think it is reasonable to attempt a repair of the Visual Studio install.

thanks,

~ Michael
