I got an assembly that builds and unit tests fine on my PC, but fails to test on the build PC. It has been failing for about a month. I've most likely done something wrong. Here is the response I get from the build server.

I think it has something to do with the version of Visual Studio on the build server. We are running Teamcity. Does anyone have any clue?
Upgrade your NuGet packages to the latest and it should fix your problem. I think you need 2.2.8 for MSTest.TestAdapter
and MSTest.TestFramework
.
