Hi, when I shrink log file, I get the error:

dbcc shrinkfile (testingdb_log,1)


Cannot shrink log file 2 (testingdb_log) because all logical log files are in use.

and after I truncate the log file, then shrink log again, it is completed successfully. Why would this happen?

You have to truncate committed transactions and move remains to beginning of the file. Try shrink it in gui, there are options for those.
