Using real-time test reporting (v9.0+)

VSTest.Console supports custom loggers, i.e. libraries that can handle events that are occurring when tests are being executed. For TeamCity 9.0.x there exists a custom logger that provides real time test reporting.
Logger must be installed manually on agent machine, as it requires dlls to be copied in Extensions folder of VSTest.Console. Installation of custom logger does not require agent restart.

Download the custom logger
Extract the contents of the downloaded archive on the agent machine:
- for VisualStudio 2015 - to PROGRAM_FILES\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions
- for VisualStudio 2013 - to PROGRAM_FILES\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions
- for VisualStudio 2012 - to PROGRAM_FILES\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions
Check that the custom logger was installed correctly by executing vstest.console.exe /ListLoggers in the console on agent machine. If the logger was installed correctly, you will see the logger with FriendlyName TeamCity listed:

VSTest.TeamCityLogger.TeamCityLogger
Uri: logger://TeamCityLogger
FriendlyName: TeamCity

To enable real time test reporting, go to VSTest.Console step in your build configuration and enable Use real-time test reporting option
