Agatha and StructureMap ... Version problem? 2.6.3,0 and 2.6.4.1

[shapper]

Hello,

I am installing Agatha-ServiceLayer-StructureMap 1.3.1 on a Test project and when I run a test I keep having the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'StructureMap, Version=2.6.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e60ad81abae3c223' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

On the App.Config I have the following:

  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="StructureMap" publicKeyToken="e60ad81abae3c223" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.6.4.0" newVersion="2.6.4.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>

The project builds but the test does not run due to the error I mentioned.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thank You,
Miguel

typo in the app.config ?

shouldn't :

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.6.4.0" newVersion="2.6.4.0" />

be :

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.6.3.0" newVersion="2.6.4.0" />

The binding redirect was placed in App.Config when installing the packages.

But I tried your suggestion before and didn't work ...

[Mark Meyers]

are you using automocking in your test ?

[shapper]

No ... In this case it is not even a real test method.

I am just creating some dummy data on a database.

I have tried the usual solutions for the past 24 hours:
Delete DLLs, reinstall the packages, delete Temp ASP.NET files, etc ...

But I am not able to solve this ... In fact I fond the same problem with NServiceBus:

But I can't find a solution that solves this ...

[Mark Meyers]

well, I think I'm out of my league here, but I'll try :

what's the actual version of the structuremap dll ?

strangely enough there is no 2.6.4.0 in the nuget library so it might help to change the assembly redirect to the actual version, 2.6.4.1 perhaps ?

what testing framework are you using ?

does it work in a console app ?

[shapper]

The file version of StructureMap is 2.6.4.1 and the product version is 2.6.4.0.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 testing framework.
And I am targeting NET 4.5.

I created a console application and it works fine. I get this error only on the Test project.

I have no idea what might be wrong.

[Mark Meyers]

aha , maybe it's this, I ran into this a while ago

MSTest copies the files into a temporary folder when running tests, sometimes it misses out on references (especially IoC ones and plugin kinds of things). 

if I remember correctly there are ways to tell MSTest explicitly which dlls are required.

although i would suggest using a different testing framework in order to avoid this hassle ;-)

Hello,

I created a console application and a test project.

I installed Agatha-ServiceLayer-StructureMap 1.3.1 in both projects the same way.

I used the same code in the Main of Console application and in the Test method.

I get the error on the Test and not on the Console application.

Any idea?

Thank You,
Miguel

if above suggestion is indeed the problem another workaround might be :

-  try explicitly instantiating a StructureMap class in your test, that way MSTest picks up the reference and will copy the dll.

[shapper]

I tried explicitly instantiating a StructureMap class in the test but didn't solved it ...

Do you have an idea where the MSTests temp folder that you mentioned is?

When I build the test project the StructureMap.dll version 2.6.4.1 is copied to the bin/debug folder.

So I really have no idea what is going on ... Maybe the 2.6.3 version is cached somewhere?

nah there's an 'out' folder somewhere, but it get's deleted after the tests have run, it's a real pain.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182475.aspx

apparantly there's a way to run test's in place aswell now

Still you're better off without all that and just nunit or xunit.net ;-)

[shapper]

No luck for now ...

I am really considering using XUnit. What annoys me is that I can't use VS 2012 IDE with it ...

I even turned on Fusion Log Viewer and get the following error:

I am not sure but might this be an Agatha package problem created by the StructureMap new version?

[Aaron Fischer]

looks like something wants to load the 2.6.3.0 version of structuremap, and your supplying 2.6.4.1 which means you need to add a binding redirect in your unit test projects app.config so the framework knows it can use the newer version.

[shapper]

Well,

I tried everything I could find and all suggestions to try to solve this an no luck.

So I downloaded Agatha project and updated all packages using Update-Package.

There are a few packages needing update ...

I rebuilt the Agatha packages and used those on my Test project.

Now everything is working fine ...

Maybe someone could update all packages on the Github project?
