error deserializing a run result file

Hi Betsy, 

I am sorry to hear you experience any troubles with the reading the test results and will assist you with sorting these out.

There are various possible reasons for the error you have encountered. As you suggest one of these could be the length of the tests in the test list - in general 9 tests shouldn't be an issue. However, if these have multiple layers of nested tests, which are data driven, they might produce quite large test result file. Another scenario could be that there is a special character, which cannot be parsed correctly.

Here is how we can continue the investigation for this occurrence:

1. Generate the application log while trying to open the result for any of the tests in the Calendar view. You can first clear (or even enable) the logging, then open the result, and then collect the generated logging. You can send it zipped with your response. 
2. If this is a local test list run, the result file is stored into the Results sub-folder under the project root one. If applicable, check the folder and find the file to send it zipped as well. 

Please, send me these additional resources for analysis. I am looking forward to hearing back from you. 

Regards,
Elena
