‘Test run must be created with at least one test case’ error when using TCM

I have been setting up some integration tests as part of a release pipeline. I am using TCM.EXE to trigger tests from the command line. Something along the lines

TCM.exe run /create /title:"EventTests" /collection:"[http://myserver:8080/tfs](http://myserver:8080/tfs)” /teamproject:myteamproject /testenvironment:"Integration" /builddir:[\\serverDropsBuild\_1.0.226.1975”](//\serverDropsBuild_1.0.226.1975”)  /include /planid:26989  /suiteid:27190 /configid:1  

I kept getting the error

‘A test run must be created with at least one test case’

Strange thing was my test suite did contains a number of test, and they were marked as active.

The issue was actually the configid it was wrong, there is no easy way to check them from the UI. use the following command to get a list of valid IDs

TCM.exe configs /list   /collection:"[http://myserver:8080/tfs](http://myserver:8080/tfs)” /teamproject:myteamproject

Id        Name

Your can now use the correct ID, not one you had to guess
