VSTest : cannot start UWP unit test

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

When I am launching unit testing of a UWP library, I always got an exception. (See stack trace below) I created a Powershell script that launch vstest.console.exe, it crashes with the same exception also.

If I launch vastest.console.exe (or my powershell) manually, it works. But when it is launch by VSTS I got an exception.

I use VSTS, and a build machine (a VS2015 Azure VM).

Is it an issue, or am I missing something??

Cheers

Olivier
