Issue Description

Intermitently we are seeing the PublishTestResults task "Freeze or Disappear" completely

The task is :

  - task: PublishTestResults@2
    displayName: Publish Test Results
    retryCountOnTaskFailure: 4
    timeoutInMinutes: 30
    inputs:
      testResultsFiles: |
        $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/logs/test-results/unit/unit-tests-report.xml
      testRunTitle: UnitTests_$(System.JobPositionInPhase)
      platform: $(Build.DefinitionName)
      configuration: Tests
    condition: succeededOrFailed()

Keep in mind `timeoutInMinutes

Unfortunately, there is nothing here in the logs, even the timeline logs of the pipeline :

This happens a couple of times a week for us and is a bit frustrating for our developers as they are not sure what is happening since the build is taking 4+h

Anyone ? this at least happens once a day for us.

I have the same problem & suspect that it could be due to firewall restrictions, but I'm unsure.

Edit: Setting publishRunAttachments: false fixed the issue for me.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 180 days with no activity. Remove the stale label or comment on the issue otherwise this will be closed in 5 days

Bump.

[ChristoWolf]

Bump.

The issue still persists.
I also observed it while running tests via dotnet test whenever IO pipes where not fully closed, see #17548.

[bwbusacker]

Bump. We still see this issue even when publishRunAttachments: false is set. This happens only when running on ADO services not when running on local ADO instance.

We have the same problem. For us it seems to happen when the same pipeline is triggered multiple times at the same time.

[ovaar]

I am also experiencing this same issue.

[ekbaramundi]

We also still experiencing this problem in Azure DevOps Online with VSS building Agents.

Same for me.
Very interesting is that the results are published and then task hangs after it did his job.
Only the results view does not show the diagrams.

[JanTristanH]

Same here with the same symptom as @harrybin
