You must have observed that the disk on test controller runs out of space pretty fast. This is because of the files being stored in localappdata%\VSEQT\QTController\TestRunStorage which never get deleted. There are two options:
Option1:
Add a key ControllerJobSpooling in \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\QTController.exe.config and set its value to false. Then restart the test controller service.

Option2:
Create a batch file with this command:
rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\<serviceaccount>\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController"
Then create a scheduled task which calls this batch file at regular intervals.

Yes, you can schedule or program an auto allocation once a test controller runs out space. Some program auto-deletion of old storage to make way.
ReplyDeleteCan the Test controller run as a service on a virtual machine? as long as I do not need a test agent also run on the same machine? I have automated CUIT tests that would require only test agents to be physical machines for interactive test runs, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, thats correct.
ReplyDeleteDoes ControllerJobSpooling frees all the space from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController, or only from TestRunStorage?
ReplyDeleteIf only from TestRunStorage, do you know how can I stop the controller from storing all of the other folders (these folders with a GUID name that it creates for each run)?
Thank in advance...
Arnon, did you ever figure out the answer to this?
