Error running test in VS 2012 Test Explorer: "Could not find 'RunSettings' node"
Attempting to run a Test Studio test from the VS 2012 Test Explorer window produces the following output:

------ Discover test started ------
Failed to configure settings for runsettings plugin 'VSTest Run Configuration' as it threw following exception:
'An error occurred while loading the settings.  Error: Could not find 'RunSettings' node..'
Please contact the plugin author.
An exception occurred while test discoverer 'TestDiscoverer' was loading tests. Exception: Type 'ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Extensibility.Descriptors.DescriptorConstraints' cannot be added to list of known types since another type 'ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Extensibility.Descriptors.DescriptorConstraints' with the same data contract name 'http://artoftest.com/schemas/WebAiiDesignCanvas/2.0.0:DescriptorConstraints' is already present. If there are different collections of a particular type - for example, List<Test> and Test[], they cannot both be added as known types.  Consider specifying only one of these types for addition to the known types list.

We are also getting the same error on VS2013.

Please advise if this is going to be fixed?

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 version, I have created a simple Test using the Settings option as shown on the "http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/user-guide/getting-started/using-telerik-testing-framework.aspx" page. Below is my code.

          Settings mysettings = new Settings();
            mysettings.Web.DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.InternetExplorer;
            Manager mymanager = new Manager(mysettings);
            mymanager.Start();
            mymanager.LaunchNewBrowser();
            mymanager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com");

           Element mytextbox =  mymanager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByXPath("//*[@id = 'sb_ifc0']");
           mymanager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.SetText(mytextbox,"Testing");

I am getting the error like "Failed to configure settings for runsettings plugin 'VSTest Run Configuration' as it threw following exception:
'An error occurred while loading the settings.  Error: Could not find 'RunSettings' node..'
Please contact the plugin author." after building the solution. 

Please let me know if there is any fix for this.

I see this issue in Visual Studio 2013. This is how I ran into the problem: I created a solution in Visual Studio with a few Web tests in it. Close the solution. I then open that solution in Telerik Test Studio. I changed a test property (set InheritParentDataSource). Save that test. Close the solution. Reopen the solution in Visual Studio 2013 and get the error when attempting to load the project. I'm using TS 2014_3_903.  Is there a fix for VS 2013?
Thanks!

"An error occurred while loading the settings.  Error: Could not find 'RunSettings' node."
Same error observed for Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.

Reinstalling TS after the VS 2012 Update 4 resolved the issue.

Note though that NO other plugins for VS that I use have required a reinstallation following VS Update 4.

Hello,

We can confirm it works fine with Update 4 RC of VS 2012 locally. Can you please capture the exact build info from the About dialog and send any OS information you have? Also does that happen on reinstalling TS (VS has probably auto updated, correct?)? Do you get the problem on another machine?

Thanks!

Since updating VS 2012 to Update 4, I've been experiencing this error as well.
I wasn't seeing this problem with VS 2012 Update 3.

I haven't yet found a workaround for this. Any ideas?

I cannot reproduce the error with Test Studio 2012.2.1420 and Update 2 of VS 2012. Did reinstalling Test Studio (after the VS update has been applied) resolve the issue?

Mark and I work together, and get this error with version 2012.2.1420 running Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 on Windows 7 Professional SP 1.

Is this the version you are talking about?

I am going to try a reinstall of Telerik Test Studio now the Update 2 has been installed for Visual Studio.

Version 2012.2.1420, does not fix the error: 
Failed to configure settings for runsettings plugin 'VSTest Run Configuration' as it threw following exception:
'An error occurred while loading the settings. Error: Could not find 'RunSettings' node..'

I am running this version and still receive this error. Do you have any other suggestion?

The issue is resolved and the fix will be available in the 2012 R2 SP2 release, scheduled for this week.

There are two separate errors here, both hard to replicate.
