TestCloud Issues

We are using Umair's LIVE account with single sub

cannot test changing subs/tenants scenarios

no alerts configured there - cannot test alerts

 

Nightly tests for many devices running into loop and never finish

 

Flakey xUnit tests (parrallelization?)

TestCloud solutions

Live test account

 

Reach out to VSTS guys

 

I turned off xUnit parallelization,
but isolation will help too

@JakubJedryszek

jj09.net

No tests for alerts

setup live test account with service alerts (won't work for Service Health)

 

mock data (for Service Health...or both)

VSTS issues

no option to email entire team for PR

follow up with VSTS?

 

no private runs from private branches

extra build pipeline?

 

maintaining our Mac build host is pain

MacInCloud?

Local development

need to enter user/pass every time when you rebuild app

cache token (copy/paste)?

 

need to modify SignIn helper class to enter password

write to pass file before and after login (to revert)

Local development

iPhone local build takes ~3-4 mins

turning off 'build ipa' didn't help

maybe OxyPlot?

 

current bundle id will overwrite installed Beta from Hockey App

change provisioning profile to com.microsoft.azure-local
