如何在tfs构建中停止自动化的selenium测试套件。 取消Build后，测试继续运行。

Question

I am using an setup where we use the Test Agent tasks to deploy a test agent to a target machine and invoke the tests on them. This will also allow us to run UI tests. All is well and good. But the issue is when I want to stop the test, I just cancel the build. The builds gets cancelled.

I am happy with that. But the issue is the Selenium test keeps on running even after the build is cancelled.

Is there something/ some process which I need to kill in the target machine so that the test comes to an abrupt STOP.

Please help me in this scenario and many thanks for your information.

Visual Studio Test using Test Agent Task is used in a Build-Deploy-Test (BDT) workflow. Cancelling an inprogress build/release with BDT tasks is not supported. If you do cancel, your subsequent builds may misbehave.

Cancelling an ongoing test run queued via BDT tasks is not supported, either.

More information of Usage Error Conditions, please check this page: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/RunDistributedTests/README.md

You can clear the option of Continue on error in Visual Studio Test using Test Agent Task. If the build fails, no subsequent steps are run.
