Ninject.MockingKernel.Moq throws exception (some version conflict with Moq)

[Julian]

When I run the following unit test (xunit) via Resharper, I get an exception (see below).

Maybe someone can push a new version, which depends on the current Moq version to the Nuget library.

A quick question: How can I enforce a specific version of a library when using Nuget.

Or more general: Is there nice way which one can use to shield himself from such problems?

namespace ClassLibrary1

{

  public class Class1

  {

    [Fact]

    public void Bla()

    {

      var kernel = new MoqMockingKernel();

      var mock = kernel.Get<IFoo>();

      int x = mock.Bar();

      Assert.Equal(0, x);

    }

  }

  public interface IFoo

  {

    int Bar();

  }

}

The stacktrace:

Bla : Failed

I was able to resolve this error by adding an app.config file with an assemblyBinding.

Ok, now I am fighting the next exception.

When using the same example (see above) I get a TypeAccessException.

Bla : Failed

System.TypeAccessException: Attempt by security transparent method 'Ninject.MockingKernel.Moq.MoqMockProvider.Create(Ninject.Activation.IContext)' to access security critical type 'Moq.Mock' failed.

I read [1] and [2] but I am still not sure if it is my fault or Ninject.MockingKernel.Moq.

MoqMockProvider.Create is marked with [System.Security.SecuritySafeCritical] which should do the trick.

This guy seems to have the same problem.

Ok, I tried to clone Ninject.MockingKernel, build it and use the resulting assemblies.

It seems to work now. - Could someone push a new version to the NuGet gallary?

I created an issue for this: https://github.com/ninject/ninject.mockingkernel/issues/7

Is there any chance for this happening in the near future?
