We are currently taking VS2010 for a testdrive and so far we are a little stumped with how it just won’t cooperate with our existing Team Foundation Server 2008.
We still have all our projects on .NET 3.5 and whenever we are now building a solution that contains a unit test project (which automatically builds in .NET 4.0) the TFS won’t build it.
The .NET 4.0 framework is installed on the TFS 2008.
The error we’re receiving is:
[Any CPU/Release] c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(0,0): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
As a temporary workaround we are now forced to remove all our test projects in order for our solutions to build.
You need to install VS2010 on your build machine.
