Running SpecFlow Report - ERROR - The attribute "Label" in element <Target> is unrecognized

Question

I have been following the tutorial found here for a SpecFlow test report generator.

My issue is, when I run the tool, I receive the following message:

The attribute "Label" in element Target is unrecognized

I've found a few possible solutions, none of which have worked e.g. here

I am able to show that I am running version 4.x as when I run MSBuild using the Visual Studio 2012, command prompt I can see the following:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.17929 [Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.18052]

I have created a config file as suggested here

but unfortunately I am still getting the error. The project is running locally off git and this issue has been fixed in the past by using the config file, however since swapping to a VMware Virtual machine, it is now occurring again.

I have also right clicked > Properties which states that the file is using .NET 4.0, in addition created a Environment Variable linking directly to the MSBuild directory. I've spent a good while browsing the internet and cannot get this working. Please help!

Many thanks for any help you can provide,

Cheers!

Answer 1

Solved this with the internal devs. There was some problem with the Chromedriver update script which had been added by (I'm assuming NuGet)

Starting

<PropertyGroup Label="DownloadChromeDriverBuildTask">

and also:

<Target Name="DownloadChromeDriver" Label="DownloadChromeDriverBuildTask">

It was a small script that was installing ChromeDriver if it was not already available. Removing this seems to have resolved it. Hope this provides help to anyone with a similar issue.
