Hi Team,
I updated the coded UI test from VS 2019 to VS2022 17.8. When i tried to run the the coded ui ordered test using visual studio 2022 test agent in an environment where both 2019 and 2022 test agents are available, I get the following error.
TestTypes\ec4800e8-40e5-4ab3-8510-b8bf29b1904d could not be loaded because the TIP could not be instantiated for the following reason(s): System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Tips.OrderedTest.Tip, Version=17.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I used the below command to execute the test cases in the test environment
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\TestAgent\Common7\IDE"
.\MSTEST.EXE /testcontainer:"C:\Bin\TestSuiteName.orderedtest" /testsettings:"C:\Bin\Local.testsettings" Following are my questions
With best regards,
Piyusha

Hello, May I know why you update the Coded UI tests from VS2019 to VS2022?
VS2019 is the last version of Visual Studio that contains the fully Coded UI test functionality.
Starting with VS2022, there are some changes. You can check it out in the following documents:

Hi Anna,
Thank you for the response.
Here are the reasons for our trial to update the existing coded ui test to VS 2022.
Warm regards,
Piyusha
Hi Anna,
Thank you.
This means I can Coded UI test cases in VS 2022 by using vstest.console.exe?

Piyusha
Hello, it's hard to say that this will work. Maybe some files or assemblies are also missing. If the output is a dll or exe file, you can have a try.
By the way, as the Coded UI Test were officially deprecated in 2019, it is not recommended that you update the Coded UI Test to VS2022.

Hello, the assembly ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Tips.OrderedTest.Tip’ seems be related to Ordered tests. But Ordered Tests is not supported with MSTest V2.
You can see: MSTestV1 features that aren't supported in MSTestV2.
Thank you for the reply.I think, I can conclude this question with the information provided by you and in the release notes for VS 2022. Regards, Piyusha
Thanks for your feedback. Hope you're doing well.
