Get Impacted Tests Failure on TFS Online, but my Tests Pass

I'm getting the following Automated buld report.
My compile and MS Tests pass, but when the build tries to figure out impacted tests, I get the following errors.
I don't get this error when I build locally.

  • PXE-E61: media test failure on Portgege 3500 but can't enter the BIOS

    I canot enter my BIOS menu.
    I tried all the keys ( ESC, F1, F2, Delete..etc) but then i get message :" PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F:exiting PXE ROM". I tried everything but i still cannot enter the BIOS menu.

    Turn the laptop On and hold ESC, then press F1 when prompted. Pressing F12 on power-up should give you a boot menu. (This is in the Users Manual)
    The PXE error means its trying to boot off the Network, because it cannot find an OS on the HDD.
    Test the HDD using a HDD test. The Advanced test in Hitachi DFT is good. (google is your friend)

  • My husband and I use one PC with two seperate accounts, why does he keep getting a update failure notice for Mozilla but I don't ?

    We share one PC running Windows XP. When he opens his account he keeps getting first in the lower right hand corner that the updater is safe then a message box comes up that says " Update Failed make sure another version is not running and restart" When I Open my account no such message appears-why? Thanks-

    Who has Admin rights on that PC?
    If you don't have Admin rights you probably don't have "rights" to update Firefox, thus don't receive the "update message".
    Try opening Help > About Firefox and see if you get a message about the update. And while you're in that window see if it says Firefox 27.0.1 or just Firefox 27.0 .
    As far as the "Update Failed make sure another version is not running and restart" message, if your User Account was running in the background and you had Firefox open, that could cause Firefox not to proceed with the update in your husband's Logon User Account. Firefox needs all Firefox user Profiles to be closed as part of the update process. The user Profile that is initiating the update will close automatically, but the process will hang if any other Firefox Profiles are running in the background. ''I have that happen frequently when I am switching between 2 Logon User Accounts in WinXP.''

    using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
    I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
    I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
    Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
    2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
    3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

  • Upgraded to FF4, Have windows 7, everytime I click on FF4 to go online, I get pop-up box with error message [Javascript: application] Typeerror: Components.classes[cid] is undefined...when I click OK it lets me online but this is a pain

    I get an error message... [Javascript: application] upper left corner in the pop-up box, then in the body of the pop-up box it says, Typeerror: Components.classes[cid] is undefined...when I click OK it lets me online but this is a pain, also, I get the same message when I try to open another window while using FF4...Thanks and hope you can help...

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

    This issue has been in discussion (actively) since last August here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4218970?start=0&tstart=0
    After months and months of new reports, it's pretty clear that this is an Apple Mountain Lion problem and one that Apple needs to address.  As one frsutrated user noted :
    >>There is no consistent solution for a user.  Apple has to supply it.  All you can do is submit a bug report to
    >> http://www.apple.com/feedback    
    Please, if you are encountering this problem you will save yourself a lot of wasted time and energey simple by joining me and others in asking Apple to fix this problem: Make a bug report.
    Thanks!

  • I accepted Taco Update - now I can get online, but cannot log in to Email. Have uninstalled and Reset, but no good. Help!

    Two weeks ago I accepted an update from Firefox called "Taco" that sounded good because it prevents certain permanent tracking cookies, etc...Now I can get online, but when I try to log in to my email it asks for my password a second time and then it looks like it's processing but it doesn't go anywhere....it shows it's trying to connect to the website (on the bottom left bar), but flickers back and forth (there) and that's it.
    == I accepted a Firefox Update called "Taco" ==
    == User Agent ==

    It sounds like there is a conflict between the code that stops trackers and the page.
    You can disable TACO for a specific site by going to "Tools"->"TACO"->"Options"->"Disable for this site".

    If you had made a search in this forum you would have found the answer many times. You have to thoroughly delete iWork. It isn't enough to delete the parts you see in the application folder.
    use Yvan Koenig's script:
              •          Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
              •          Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
              •          Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
    restart the computer for good measures and install from the disk again. Don't forget to do the updates too

    Any ideas what this may be?
    Thanks.

    From the FAQ you linked to:
    If attempting to run your tests results in a NoClassDefFoundError, then something is missing from your CLASSPATH.
    Given that the first error was java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: I'd start looking at your CLASSPATH.

  • TFS Online Builds Fail Sometimes on Package Restore

    We are currently getting errors with package restore for TFS online build.
    C:\a\src\Web\Web\.nuget\NuGet.targets
    (100): Unable to find version 'XXX' of package 'YYYY'.
    It worked earlier for the same solution, but to another build definition/website.  And yes, it has worked many times for this build definition/website.  We periodically get these failures on a given day.  Maybe twice a month. 
    It always seems to be environment related as the errors just go away.  On occasion, the VSO support site has shown a problem status (not green).  But often the status is green.
    Does anyone else have this problem occur this often?  We like using VSO and Azure for the most part.  But the builds are just killing us.  They are vey, very slow compared to what we can do locally and not very reliable.

    The package restore workflow has been changed by NuGet team. For Team Foundation Build 2013 on-premises and Visual Studio Online  (formerly Team Foundation Service), the default Build Process  Templates already implement the NuGet Package Restore
    workflow without  any special configuration.
    Please ensure you have applied the right way to do package restore in your solution hosted in VSO and try to build again.
    Have a look at below links for more details:

  • Satellite A205-replaced HDD and recovery CD not working; media test failure

    Please help,
    My wife's computer crashed, it all started with windows\system32\en file corrupt or missing. Took it in to the geek squad and diagnostics test said hard drive corrupt.
    (Trying to recover the data is another problem to solve later)
    To save money I ordered a new HDD (WD320GB) installed the new HDD, inserted the recovery disc and get the following message:
    Pre-boot execution Environment (PXE) v2.1
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
    Operating System not found
    I can see the new HDD in the BIOS, I've changed the boot order to start with CD/DVD drive but still get the message above.
    What now?
    Thanks for any help that I can get.

    I want to say thanks to all who helped. The problem with recovery CD's not working was the DVD drive.
    I was able to get a used DVD drive really cheap and was able to reinstall to factory condition.
    Just for kicks once the install and all updates were completed I stuck the old DVD drive back in and still didn't work. So other than alot of time online and looking around for a DVD drive that would fit the laptop, I spent less than $10 for DVD drive and $65 for another hard drive which is good news, the bad news is my wife couldn't live anylonger without Facebook and bought another laptop, HP this time.
    Well my daughter will have a Tosh to do her school projects.
    Now to figure out what caused the crash, loss of data and DVD not to work in the first place.
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Happy New Year

  • Error message when trying to recover HD: PXE-E61 Media test failure

    Hi all, new to forums, lots of good info and support here.
    Got the BSOD last week.  Have been trying all of the various fixes mentioned on the board, to no avail. I went back multiple pages looking for alternatives to try.   After stepping away for a few days, I got farther today than I did when I was frustrated.  F12, chose to boot HDD, and got the following LOOPING error message:
    PXE-E61 Media test failure check cable
    PXR-MDF exiting PXE rom
    Which gives me hope that I may not have to replace my hard drive.
    I have a satellite L455-5975, and have ordered recovery disc from acclaim ('0' option didn't work for me, which makes me wonder if Toshiba time limits that support, but that's off topic)
    So it looks to me like my RealTek Ethernet Controller might be the problem?  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Anything I can do or should I wait for recovery disk to arrive? I worry that the recovery disk isn't going to do what I need.   Do I need to replace the ethernet controller, or is this a sign of a hard drive issue?  I consider myself 'fairly' tech savvy, but I've never taken a computer apart/put one together myself.  It would definitely cost less for me to replace HD myself than putting it in the shop.  So I'm willing to try that option if need be.
    I appreciate any help/support!  Reading some of the previous posts make me wonder if rather than investing more money in the satellite, if I shouldn't instead be saving up to buy a new(er) model.

    I have a very similar problem with my mini-notebook model NB305.
    I'm getting the same message and can't get past F2 or F12.
    Bottom line; I ordered the recovery data from Toshiba on-line by model number ---not by type. They sent two DVDs. My unit doesn't have an optical drive.
    First call to "John"---yes, you can copy the data to a thumb drive and use that.
    Almost two hours of transferring --- the NB305 did not respond to the thumb drive.
    Second call to "Paul". After some consultation on his part with someone else he told me that they don't make a thumbdrive (USB) recovery disk for my model, that's why I received two DVDs. ! I would have take it to a shop where they etc...
    I haven't decided what to do next. Maybe purchase an external drive rather than take it to a repair shop where it will probably cost more than buying an inexpensive external drive.
