TeamCity - MSBuild runner exits with not zero code

Question

I've had TeamCity running for a long time, with no problems.

I then upgraded to TeamCity 8, and now all my .Net projects fail when launching the Test build step.

The only error message I see is this: MSBuild runner exits with not zero code

The test part of my log, looks like this:

If I look at the teamcity-build.log file, I can see it says err on the line where the NUitLauncher is executed:

Anyone else seen this? Is there a place to find more extensive log information?

Answer 1

This was a dotCover related issue.

I fixed it by installing the latest version of dotCover from here: http://www.jetbrains.com/dotcover/

Then, in each build configuration that defines the MSTest build step and uses dotCover, you need to override the dotCover home directory with the one where you just installed dotCover.

Answer 2

I encountered the same issue and I fixed it by following this article. However, I assigned the permission to the TeamCity installation folder (C:\TeamCity in my case) instead of the Program Files (x86) folder. Seems that dotCover bundled with TeamCity is installed there instead of the program files folder.
