Where is the 'tests output pane'?

Question

Unexpected error detected. Check the Tests Output Pane for details.

Where is the \'Tests Output Pane\'? I can\'t find it anywhere in Visual

Answer 1

In the output window there is combobox "show output from". Choose Tests as shown here

Answer 2

For me killing vstest.console.exe and vstest.discoveryengine.exe processes did the trick. No need to restart visual studio.

Answer 3

The message really should be this

Unexpected error detected. Check the Output Window for details which can be found in the Show output from: section. Then select the Tests drop down to read the actual error.

For it is in the output window which is the same window which also primarily shows the textual Build information ... and the test result info.

Answer 4

If you're looking for the actual issue, for me it was:

vstest.discoveryengine.exe and vstest.executionengine.exe

Open up Task Manager, go to Processes tab, right-click and End Process. Restart Visual Studio.

Answer 5

Go to the view tab at the top of your screen, and select output.
