FileNotFoundException for Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UTFResources when deploying to Azure sites
I am using Azure Websites git deploy (via Kudu) and everything has gone fine until today. When I do a new git push and it tries to deploy, I get this error while running my tests:
Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UTFResources, Version = 10.1.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b03f5f7f11d50a3a" or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I didn't add or remove any libraries or other links from my solution between the last successful click and when I started getting these errors. Googling nothing appears. This file is in my local GAC, but I cannot find it by linking directly in my solution.
Redeploying an older version of my solution - the version deployed correctly earlier in the day - fails with the same error message.
If I didn't know better, I would have thought that MS changed something at its end and broke kudu.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting the shyness of opening a ticket with Azure?
EDIT - More details:
It doesn't work when running unit tests. Here's the relevant part of my deploy.cmd:
:: 1. Build to the temporary path
IF /I "%IN_PLACE_DEPLOYMENT%" NEQ "1" (
%MSBUILD_PATH% "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\Payboard.Web\Payboard.Web.csproj" /nologo /verbosity:m /t:Build /t:pipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder /p:_PackageTempDir="%DEPLOYMENT_TEMP%";AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings=false;Configuration=Release /p:SolutionDir="%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\.\\" %SCM_BUILD_ARGS%

IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
vstest.console.exe "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\Payboard.Web.Tests\bin\NoDatabase\Payboard.Web.Tests.dll"
IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
It doesn't work on the first call vstest.console.exe
, after successfully running a whole bunch of unit tests, but before completing. Here's a sample log file:

An error has occurred during web site deployment.
Test Run Failed.
I should note that if I comment out the unit test calls I can deploy it. So I guess the question is basically - what can I do to get my unit tests running again? Is it possible that a recent update to Azure Websites supporting, among other things, TypeScript 1.1 may have removed Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UTFResources.dll
from the GAC? Or something like that?

As discussed in the comments, this appears to be a recent regression. I opened up https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/issues/1370 to follow up and discuss further.

Look at here:
It was suggested to drop the reference Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework and add the MSTest.TestFramework and MSTest.TestAdapter NuGet packages
In my VSTS build definition, I also had to change the checkout process to clear All directories builds
This solved the FileNotFound exception I was getting for the same DLL.
