Dot cover fails randomly on team city
We've started randomly getting errors in our buildscripts using dot cover. Tests are written in xunit or nunit using full framework or net core. They are ran on team city using cake. It seems like the cause of the error is dotcover crashing, but we can't determine the cause of the error. I'm unsure if the crash happens while running the tests, running coverage or in the merging of the coverage reports afterwards.

If I were you I'd try to view the contents of this file on the build agent: D:\BuildAgent1\work\8d922da462b19f2f\Tests\TestResults\TestResults.xml and see if there's something obviously corrupt about it, otherwise share it here with TeamCity people.
We have had similar issues before like this, but it was caused by NUnit runner itself throwing an exit code > 0 because it can't destroy it's container (called an app domain) because some piece of code in the test is still running or holding on to a resource. We fixed it by changing the version of the NUnit Console to 3.10.0 which had a fix for this. However in your case I think it's the file is your problem, we've had this too and it was caused by a recursive test blowing out the size of the file.
