The actual failure is:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException : Access to the path 'dotnet.exe' is denied.
   at System.IO.FileSystem.RemoveDirectoryRecursive(String fullPath, WIN32_FIND_DATA& findData, Boolean topLevel)
   at System.IO.FileSystem.RemoveDirectory(String fullPath, Boolean recursive)
   at Microsoft.DotNet.CoreSetup.Test.HostActivation.MultilevelSDKLookup.Dispose() in /_/src/installer/tests/HostActivation.Tests/MultilevelSDKLookup.cs:line 87
   at ReflectionAbstractionExtensions.DisposeTestClass(ITest test, Object testClass, IMessageBus messageBus, ExecutionTimer timer, CancellationTokenSource cancellationTokenSource) in /_/src/xunit.execution/Extensions/ReflectionAbstractionExtensions.cs:line 87

This looks a lot like robustness things we've been working on for a while and sort of solved in 7/8 where I don't remember seeing failures like this at all recently. I don't know if it's worth the effort to try to backport all of these test infra fixes.

Short version: I'm pretty sure this is not a product issue, but it's a test infra issue.

@elinor-fung who also worked on the test infra robustness for another opinion.

[elinor-fung]

Yeah, this looks like test robustness issues we were chasing (and haven't seen recently) - not anything in the product. I'm also not sure if it is worth backporting the various fixes we've made, particularly since the failures are on cleanup, so by the time they are hit, the actual validation has been done/passed.

@carlossanlop if this starts happening in a lot in 6.0 PRs (hoping not based on the current hit count) and it slows you down too much, I can investigate what we would need to backport.

I didn't update the error blob, it's a bit too broad and will catch any error in the assembly. But the correct encoding was:

{
  "BuildRetry": false,
  "ErrorPattern": "Tests failed: .+\\\\HostActivation\\.Tests_net\\d\\.0_(x64|x86|arm64)+\\.html",
  "ExcludeConsoleLog": false
}
