OpsHub VSO migration - DataValidationException - Test Suite already exists - azure-devops

During an OpsHub migration from local TFS 2013.3 server to VSO, I receive an error message from OpsHub:
com.opshub.exceptions.DataValidationException: OpbsHug-012017: Field mapping with name: Migrate Work Items and Version Control Data Migrate Work Items and Version Control Data | TFS Source 1211589216815 ALM TFS 1211589216816 'All' Test Suite already exists
This only occurs when trying to migrate work items. Code migration works fine on its own. Stack trace from log file shown below:

As per the error message and information provided it looks like you are using TFS 2013 update 3 which is currently not supported by free migration utility. We will update you on same thread once we have support for this tfs version.
Thanks,

OpsHub User Mapping Error

I'm using the OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration tool to migrate a TFS2010 project (source code only) to Visual Studio online. On the user mapping screen, I made my mappings (most to anonymous, but a few key users with mappings) and off it went. After a while I got the following:
249/410 Changeset(s)/Label(s) passed
1/410 Changeset(s)/Label(s) pending for retry
When I view the errors, I see this:
OH-SCM-009: Error occurred while sync. TF14045: The identity XYZ, Bruce (USHQ) is not a recognized identity.
Bruce is one of the users I mapped. I went back in to update the migration to see what I can do.
I tried removing the "XYZ, Bruce (USHQ) -- XYZ, Bruce (USHQ)" mapping and re-adding it and then retrying. Same error.
I then tried removing the mapping and mapping to anonymous. It seemed to accept this, but got the same error on retry. I noticed then that the mapping was back to "XYZ, Bruce (USHQ) -- XYZ, Bruce (USHQ)" and I can't seem to make it anonymous. This is true for any users that appear in both lists (TFS Users and VSO users).
Other users are mapping correctly from what I can tell.
My best case would be to correctly map this user. Next would be to map it to anonymous.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Below is the error in the log:

Visual Studio Online Migration Utility fails with TF400023

Update OpsHub has published an update to their utility that fixes the problem I encountered.
I am trying to migrate an on-premises Team Foundation Server 2010 to Visual Studio online using the OpsHub Visual Studio Online migration utility. It has successfully uploaded 1380 of 6585 change sets, but is stuck on one of them and will not continue. The error message for the problematic change set:
Changeset ID: 1417
OH-SCM-009: Error occurred while sync. TF400023: The local workspace could not be reconciled with the server.
If I open the TFS workspace in Visual Studio (by browsing to O:\w69_1), I get a very similar error message in a popup window:
Error
TF400023: The local workspace could not be reconciled with the server.
The Visual Studio Source Control console displays a dozen repetitions of the following error message:
TF14060: The item $/EDT/SingleProjectClient/Data cannot be deleted. One or more children have pending changes.
Browsing through the pending changes in the workspace, it is clear that $/EDT/SingleProjectClient/Data/AllProjects.sdf has a pending "merge, delete" change.
The "merge, delete" change was present in the original change set made on the on-premises team foundation server. The problematic changeset ID 1417 contains the following changes:
$/EDT/SingleProjectClient/Data: delete
$/EDT/SingleProjectClient/Data/AllProjects.sdf: merge, delete
I have tried to undo the pending change on $/EDT/SingleProjectClient/Data/AllProjects.sdf, but that doesn't help. The migration utility continues to issue the same error message (TF400023: the local workspace could not be reconciled with the server).

If your server was ever TFS 2005/8 you can be in the situation that a past merge delete never completed.
In 2005/2008 if you had both updates and deleted in a single operation you had to do two checkins to complete the merge. However the UI to tell you that was only introduced in 2008 SP1 (AFAIR).
I have run into this issue all the time with Timely Migration and TFS Integration Tools. And as the merge was never completed your code bow relies (or possibly does) on the current setup. In the aforementioned tools I would edit the incoming migration data to remove knowledge of the pend-deleted and allow the tool to proceed.
The OpsHub tool is not good with corner cases and you may need OpsHub to show you how to resolve with their tool.

CSPack RemotingException while packaging Cloud service project with MSBuild

I have a powershell script that is packaging our builds and deploys them to Azure Cloud Services. This script was running without any problem with SDK 2.3, but when we upgraded to SDK 2.5 we started receiving the following error while building the project:

It is running on Windows Server 2008 R2, using MSBuild from VS2013 and the MSBuild is runnin like this parameters (from powershell):
& $msBuildPath "$tempPath\Azure\Azure.ccproj" /p:TargetProfile=Cloud /p:Configuration=Release /target:publish /flp:"Verbosity=quiet;logfile=E:\AzurePreview\msbuild.log"
I could not find anything connected to this issue.
I even tried to remove all traces of VS, SDKs and tools that might be connected to powershell, VS or Azure in general and installed the necessary parts again rebut nothing helped.
Could you please help me resolve this issue?
After discussing this issue with Microsoft support, I was able to package the project using CSPack command line tool, so I'm using this as a workaround.
Edit:
This issue seems fixed in Azure SDK 2.7

Unit testing with Roslyn.Services.Workspace results in a SecurityException while working at x86 target

I'm working on set of constants for my project, and I'd like to use roslyn to verify some of them in source code level. To achieve this, I'm loading entire solution using following snippet into AppDomain with IsFullyTrusted == true and IsHomogenous == true, i.e. remoting is enabled with x86 platform target:
// load workspace, i.e. solution from Visual Studio
var workspace = Roslyn.Services.Workspace.LoadSolution(solutionFile);
Test runners for NCrunch and NUnit with x86 platform with Roslyn
But while using either ncrunch 1.45 or nunit 2.6.2 nunit-console-x86.exe with platform configuration x86 as test runners, I'm constantly getting following System.Security.SecurityException:
System.Security.SecurityException : Type System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef and the types derived from it (such as System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef) are not permitted to be deserialized at this security level.

There is a discussion on NCrunch forum, but I have tried all following options without success:
Add [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] to AssemblyInfo.cs
Add [assembly: SecurityRules(SecurityRuleSet.Level1)] to AssemblyInfo.cs
Add <NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled="true" /> to app.config
Run VS2012 as Administrator
Decorate both unittests and implementation with [SecuritySafeCritical]
Update: create new AppDomain and provide
PermissionState.Unrestricted, SecurityPermissionFlag.AllFlags and DataProtectionPermissionFlags.AllFlags
Add Host Evidence: SecurityZone.MyComputer, System.Security.Policy.Hash and System.Security.Policy.StrongName
Add all assemblies (both mine and Roslyn CTP) to fullTrustAssemblies while creating of AppDomain
Update #2
This exception happens only while I'm running test under x86 configuration, after I had switched to x64 platform configuration, everything seems to work fine
Question
Are there any other attributes or configuration changes to app.config or AppDomain that could help to enable deserialization in .NET Framework remoting for System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef while running under x86 configuration?
Temporary solution
Switch to x64 build configuration only for unittest project(s)
Source code
Whole source code is available at github: to reproduce error run following unittest using NCrunch IntrospectionTests.Introspection_SearchForComplexityGt10_ApprovedList
Discussion at NCrunch forum
Additional information
Also I notice...
A lot of instances of Roslyn.Services.dll hang in background, after all tests had been completed.
Lack of Host Evidences for NCrunch: System.Security.Policy.Hash and System.Security.Policy.StrongName with test runner assembly name
resharper MSIL (should be x64 inside) and nunit 2.6.2 nunit-console.exe test runner are working fine, so it looks like Roslyn configuration/remoting/security configuration issue.
It looks like ncrunch is executing the tests in Partial Trust, whereas Resharper is running them in Full Trust.
Roslyn has not been tested in Partial Trust scenarios. There are likely to be accesses to APIs that require Full Trust.
I haven't used ncrunch, but maybe there is a way to configure it to run the tests in Full Trust?
I want to add something!
After upgrading an NUnit instance I manage to run to both 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 of the software, my team ran into similar issues with this exact System.Security exception that Akim was seeing.
We were creating an IpcChannel with some of our custom NUnit logic that wasn't created with the right trust settings, so we had to change something that looked like:
IpcChannel channel = new IpcChannel(string.Format("localhost:{0}", portNum));
To -
BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider serverProvider = new BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider();
serverProvider.TypeFilterLevel = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.TypeFilterLevel.Full;
BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider clientProvider = new BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider();
var properties = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
properties["name"] = "ipc";
properties["priority"] = "20";
properties["portName"] = string.Format("localhost:{0}", portNum);
IpcChannel channel = new IpcChannel(properties, clientProvider, serverProvider);
Just a quick fix I noticed that I figured I would forward to anybody seeing something similar that can't just switch their platform settings. To be fair, it took me about four hours to figure out so I didn't want the knowledge to go to waste.

Error publishing an asp 3.5 app

Well, I'm here to ask about some problem I have, the detail is that when I publish the application from my computer to the server folder and after make the changes in IIS when I try to browse the web app I get the next error:
Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length
In my local computer, I installed Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 and in the server is not installed only Framework 3.5.
Is the error related with Entity Framework or it's another problem?

The error thrown is from a substring operation. Where it is actually being thrown, I have no clue, as you have not actually posted the stack trace on the error. This could be because you don't know how to do this?
If you can find the stack trace, or even detail your code that gets pieces of a string, you will have a better context of the exception and be able to start doing something to cure it.
As for root cause, the fact it is only happening after publish indicates a) something is missing on the server or b) the server is configured incorrectly (wrong version of .NET for the app pool for example) or c) you have not correctly published the site (maybe copied from your compiled application rather than published and moved the published version over, etc.???)
