Why is dotTEST unable to find build artifacts in Visual Studio 2017 when Lightweight Solution Load is enabled?

...

Visual Studio 2017 introduced new performance management options to monitor and manage extensions that can affect startup time. As a result, a pop-up alert may appear when Parasoft DTP Plugin is installed to indicate that Visual Studio startup time has increased. Click You can click the Manage Visual Studio Performance link in the pop-up window to review the startup times and disable displaying the alert.

...

• Use the Clear MEF Component Cache extension that will automatically clear the MEF cache (download here).
• Manually delete the cache directory. Depending on your installation details, the cache directory may be available in the following locations:
  - If the Plugin has been installed with the default options: %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
  - If the Visual Studio registry suffix has been specified with the <SUFFIX> parameter during installation: %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0<suffix_name>\ComponentModelCache

Why does dotTEST not report results for some rules and metrics when integrated with Visual Studio 2013?

Some static analysis rules and metrics require Visual Studio Update 5 to be installed on your machine if you run analysis with dotTEST from Visual Studio 2013. You may need to install Visual Studio Update 5, or run analysis from the command line.

How can I prevent my machine ID from floating?

...

1. Set up the PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES environment variable.

2. Set the variable value to a stable Ethernet network interface. Do not use virtual, temporary or loopback interfaces. 
   - On Windows: Set the value to the MAC address of your network card. You can use the ipconfig -all command to obtain the address.  For example:

   Code Block
   SET PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES=00-10-D9-27-AC-85

   - On Linux: Set the value to one of the network interfaces from the "inet" or "inet6" family. You can use the ifconfig command to obtain the list of available interfaces. For example: 

   Code Block
   export PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES=eth1

If the problem persists, you can obtain diagnostic information by setting up the environment variable PARASOFT_DEBUG_NET_INTERFACES and setting its value to true. This will print to the standard output the checking procedure that can be shared with technical support, as well as the interface that is used to compute your machine ID. The interface will be marked with the [SELECTED] prefix.
