Sometimes tests fail abruptly with timeout in CUITE

Question

Hi,
we have a tests suite of codedui tests, and sometimes we noticed that tests fails with timeout :
Test 'XXXX' exceeded execution timeout period.
The problem with this is that when we get this failure, it seems that the tests doe not execute MyTestCleanup(), so  the following tests fail.
the header of our functions looks like the following :
       [TestMethod, Timeout(5  60  1000)]
        [Description("Description")]
        [Owner("pm")]
        [TestCategory("C1"), TestCategory("Regression"), TestCategory("C2"), Priority(2)]
        public void VerifyFunctionality1()
is there any wahy to make the tests execute the MytestCleanup() when they timeout ?? please note we use vstest.console.exe and visual studio 2012.
Regards

Hi kaki2000,

The real issue is that where you design the MytestCleanup(), do you use the cleanup method like ClassCleanup Attribute or the TestCleanup Attribute?
If so, I think it would have a limitation for it, for example,
the TestCleanup: Identifies a method that contains code that must be used after the test has run and to free resources obtained by all the tests in the test class.
I think you could get useful information here "How Cleanup Methods Affect Test Run Time-Outs
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243175.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 
The test run might have a time-out value assigned. The amount of time that is used by the cleanup methods is added to the total amount of time that is used by the test run. In other words, the cleanup time counts toward the time limit that you have
imposed on the test run as a whole, and therefore could cause the test run to time out.
