在命令行上运行MSTest时，测试失败，但在VS2012中通过

Question

I have one test out of a suite of tests that fails when running MSTest on the commandline. However, the same suite of tests passes within VS2012 IDE.

I verified that the same test project dll is being executed on both commandline and VS2012 IDE.

I verified this by commenting out a test method and observing MSTest report an updated test summary in which some other test failed which was passing before I commented out the test method.

Any suggestions?

If you are using VS 2012 or later, you should be using vstest.console.exe to run your tests. Mstext.exe is left there for backward compatibility. Using vstest.console.exe oftentimes fixes issues that only exist when run with mstest.exe.
