Cloud Base Load Test fails with The test mix for scenario "Mix" contains the following test that cannot be found

[dawilliams]

Hello,

This could be a config error but we can't get a test that works locally to run in VSTS. It seems to run one test then we keep getting the following error:

Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException: The test mix for scenario "Mix" contains the following test that cannot be found: "mesa.core.api.perf.tests.dll". Update the test mix of the scenario to remove test that do not exist and add any renamed test. Then rerun your load test. Note: Do not edit the load test xml file directly. This is not supported when you run your load test with Visual Studio Team

The odd thing is that it is referencing a dll which isn't a test. Here is the configuration of the task

Here is the contents of the directories:

Ok, we got past this issue. Some files the test needed were missing.

I'm facing a similar issue. My loadtest requires a dll file created earlier in the build chain. How did you manage give the loadtest access to the required dll?

@dawilliams could you clarify how you solved this exactly? I seem to be in the same situation but am not able to see why this .dll can't be found.
