Automated tests in Microsoft Test Manager (test run build directory either doesn't exist or needs permission to access)

I am trying to run automated test cases in Microsoft Test Manager. I'm so close, but I keep getting the error. I am running my tests in MTM and I am getting the following error:

The test run build directory either does not exist or requires access permission.

I'm so lost. Where is the build directory of the test run? Where is the crash site of the assembly?

I went to Plan -> Properties -> and checked that my "Build in use" is the last one and is not left blank.

In Microsoft Test and Lab Manager, the above error message is observed while performing an automatic test run on a test controller. This can happen under any of the following conditions.

  • The account running the test controller does not have read permission on the build directory. (The assembly directory is the same as the assembly cut location associated with this test run.)

  • The build directory itself does not exist.

So, to get out of this error, make sure the build directory exists and the controller validation service account has read permission.
