FileNotFoundException for Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UTFResources when deploying to Azure Websites - azure

I'm using Azure Websites git deploy (via Kudu), and everything has been going great, until today. When I do a new git push, and it tries to deploy, I get this error message while my tests are running:
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 haven't added or removed any libraries or other references from my solution between the last successful push and when I started getting this errors. Googling doesn't turn up anything. That file is in my local GAC, but I can't find it referenced directly anywhere in my solution.
Redeploying an old version of my solution - a version that deployed correctly earlier in the day - fails with the same error message.
If I didn't know better, I'd think that MS changed something on their end and broke kudu.
Any thoughts about troubleshooting this, shy of opening a ticket with Azure?
EDIT - More Details:
It's failing while running the unit tests. Here's the relevant portion of my deploy.cmd:

Test Run Failed.
I should note that if I comment out the calls to the unit tests, I can get it to deploy. So I suppose the question is basically - what can I do to get my unit tests running again? Is it possible that the recent update to the Azure websites - the one that supported, among other things, TypeScript 1.1 - could have possibly removed Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UTFResources.dll from the GAC? Or something along those lines?

Have a look here:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/35104/systemiofilenotfoundexception-utfresourcesdll.html
The suggestion was to de-reference Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework and add NuGet packages MSTest.TestFramework and MSTest.TestAdapter
On my VSTS build definition, I also had to change the checkout process to clean the All Build Directories
This solved the FileNotFound exception I was getting for the same DLL.

As discussed in the comments, this does appear to be a recent regression. I have opened https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/issues/1370 to track it and discussed further.

I just lower down the version from 10.1.0.0 to 10.0.0.0. and it worked!!!

All unit tests Inconclusive when run in VS 2019

I'm using Unit Test Explorer and Unit Test Sessions to run my tests and suddenly get the below error.
When running in Test -> Test explorer, the tests do not run at all and I see no errors.
In both cases there is nothing in Output window. I've reinstalled R#, cleared VS cache (in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft), restarted windows, restarted VS.

Problems with Parallel build using MSBuild

We've tried to run next command:
MSBuild.exe ..\src\YaccConstructor.WithoutTests.sln /t:Build /m:8 /v:q /p:Optimize="True" /p:DebugSymbols="True" /p:Configuration="Release" /logger:Fake.MsBuildLogger+TeamCityLogger,"C:\Users\User\Documents\Project\recursive-ascent\tools\Build.Tools\Fake\FakeLib.dll" /logger:Fake.MsBuildLogger+ErrorLogger,"C:\Users\User\Documents\Project\recursive-ascent\tools\Build.Tools\Fake\FakeLib.dll"
After that we've got the next exception:

In the MSBuild_*.failure.txt is the next information:

MSBUILD fails with "The process cannot access the file xxxxx because it is being used by another process." when maxcpucount is greater than 1
And nothing helped.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Try explicitly calling the build with MsBuild 4.0 to rule out version 12.0
Try ruling out the custom loggers by omitting the /logger switches.
Try ruling out parallel builds by commenting out the /M switch.
Try piping the diagnostic output to a separate file and see if you can get more fidelity on the error.

Issue after upgrading Sitefinity 6.3 (Windows Azure Webproject) to Sitefinity 7.0

I have a website developed in Sitefinity 6.3 that is deployed on windows Azure (website deployed in Cloud Service). Now I have upgraded the project to sitefinity 7.0 as mentioned on their migration page.
Project upgraded successfully, and I followied the steps to remove & add References, but then I ran the project & it showed me following error:
Assembly 'Telerik.Sitefinity, Version=7.0.5100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563'

which has a higher version than referenced assembly

Then I installed the Azure SDK version 2.2, then following error was displaying:

</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding
I also copied the related dlls in bin folder & added reference to project.
But nothing seemed to work for me, Please let me know where am I going wrong?
Edit: ------------------------
Thanks [DrewG] for sharing important info.
I followed all the steps as DrewG mentioned. Then I got error when I ran the project in Visual Studio for Post Build task, then I removed that task & Changed following setting in web.config:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.3.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0"/>
to
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.5.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0"/>
Then it run perfectly, Then I removed the References folder, then It also run perfectly.
Now, I could not recognise wht was fixed by DrewG's steps, but after reverting all the steps it's working correct. I would like to know what might be fixed?
Thanks
I had a similar problem caused from running the project locally. It's trying to load the 64 bit version of that dll (msshrtmi.dll).
Azure is wanting the 64 bit version of the .dll but you either need to use the 32bit version when you run locally or you need to setup a site in IIS with a 64bit app pool to be able to test locally.
I came up with a bit of a hack to get this to work on our azure sites but it has been working before and after an upgrade to Sitefinity 7 so maybe it will help you out.
I copied the 64bit and 32bit msshrtmi.dll files to a folder named References in the same directory as the .sln file. Then I wrote a quick .bat file and added it as a Post Build Task for the project that passes my current build profile.
Note: I have a Build profile with the name "Azure" that I use to update some other settings rather than using Thunder. The Azure build profile is basically just a copy of Release, but I like to test Release builds locally too.
Build task looks like this
call $(SolutionDir)References\AZURE.bat $(ConfigurationName) $(SolutionDir)
AZURE.bat file looks like this
If %1 == Azure echo "Copying 64bit version of msshrtmi.dll"
If %1 == Azure copy %2\References\64\msshrtmi.dll %2\YourProject\Bin\msshrtmi.dll
If NOT %1 == Azure echo "Copying 32bit version of msshrtmi.dll"
If NOT %1 == Azure copy %2\References\32\msshrtmi.dll %2\YourProject\Bin\msshrtmi.dll

It looks like System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly is probably because of a mismatch between the loader's .Net version and your assembly. Try setting it back to 4.0 and then in the NuGet Package Manager Window do update-package -reinstall Microsoft.Hadoop.MapReduce to make sure you have all of the correct versions.
I set the target CPU to x64 in the solution's configuration manager and that resolved the issue.

Now, I do have this RegexAssemblyBuilder.exe file in my solution and if I paste it into the bin folder and refresh the page everything works. It is also very likely that there is some issue about the calling assembly which looks for this file, and I have already informed my colleagues about that (I didn't develop it...). In the meantime, to make it work, and for future knowledge, I would like to know if there is the chance to tell IIS not to resolve this binding (which by the way I never use). I can't remove the calling .dll though.
Thank you
You could just set the Build Action to Content and then set Copy To Output Directory to Copy Always to have this assembly added to the bin directly at all tiimes. Otherwise, you could remove the reference to the executable from the project properties, or check to make sure that there is no mention of it in the web.config file. There is no method to prevent IIS from binding to an assembly when it is referenced inside a project. IIS builds up all the referenced assemblies when it does its initial compilation on the first request of the application.
