TFS 2017 Build is failing on the Visual Studio Test task when it tries to publish tests result. Using task version 2.* ... version 1.* was not working anymore (couldn't find path vstest.console.exe and acted strange when I put specific path)... how can I get this to work? using tfs 2017.5 on the build server, and TFS Version 15.117.26714.0, using the latest agent from that.

OK found an answer, have to use a newer version of vstest.console.exe provided by the TFS tasks team. see last item here:

https://github.com/Microsoft/vstest/issues/683

basically, need pass custom vstest.console.exe path which is VS-Insallation-Directory\Common7\IDE\Extensions\TestPlatform\vstest.console.exe in your vstest V2 task.
