Visual Studio test task fails in pipeline but succeeds in test console

Question

I am using Visual studio test task to run all my tests as a part of my build definition. The options that I have enabled are as attached below:

Now, the problem here is that, some of my tests always fail when I run them from the build pipleine , however all of these test seem to pass when I run them via vstests console.exe command.

ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\VSTest.Console" <path to dll>

Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong in here? Thanks.

Can you provide some of the details from the logs of the pipeline — Josh Gust, Jan 30 '19 at 21:27
Did you solve this? If not, do you have any addl. info on the failing test. Build log and error message etc.? — Josh Gust, Feb 05 '19 at 16:46

Using the Installed by tools installer selection, I would need to see what your tools installation task is doing to provide additional info. Maybe you're not installing a version that is compatible with the tests?

If you don't have a specific need to call out a different test platform version, maybe try using Latest.

OR

Since you're calling ...\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\...\VSTest.Console, you may want to select the Visual Studio 2015 option.
