Coded UI tests - cannot resolve symbol UITesting

Question

I'm trying to use the assemblies like this in a VS2012 project:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension;

However I get a bunch of red in my tests:

I can build and run locally even with this red, but I'd like to get this stuff resolving if possible. My build machine rejects this with the following errors:

 DashboardTest.cs (7): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 DashboardTest.cs (9): The type or namespace name 'UITest' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.cs (9): The type or namespace name 'UITest' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.cs (10): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.Designer.cs (19): The type or namespace name 'UITest' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.Designer.cs (20): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.Designer.cs (132): The type or namespace name 'BrowserWindow' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
 DashboardTest.cs (10): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.cs (12): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.cs (13): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.Designer.cs (22): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 UIMap.Designer.cs (23): The type or namespace name 'UITesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 DashboardTest.cs (18): The type or namespace name 'CodedUITest' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
 DashboardTest.cs (18): The type or namespace name 'CodedUITestAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any tips? All references in my test project are set to copy local = true.

UPDATE - I got the references working locally by adding a reference to visualStudio.TestTools.UITesting, but the CodedUITest attribute is still red and the build still fails with the same errors.

Answer 1

You need to add a reference to: Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework

Answer 2

You need to add references such as in the following attachment:

Answer 3

In VS2017 I had to use the Visual Studio Installer to install the "Coded UI Test" component on my build server. It is found on the "Individual Components" tab under the "Debugging and Testing" section.
