Newtonsoft version 9 dependency

[Erik]

Another engineer recently upgraded our acceptance tests project's reference to Newstonsoft from 9 to 11.  This caused the following exception in our build server and inability to produce the html report for artifacts and debugging.

[16:26:18][Step 10/13] System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Is there a plan to update this version in SpecRun or otherwise handle the dependency?

Hi Erik

I have to look at this, why it tries to load Version 9 of Json.NET.

Which runner version are you using?

In the meantime, you should be able to fix this, if you change/add the assembly binding redirect for Newtonsoft.Json in the specrun.exe.config.

It should look like this:

      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>

Best regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas, currently running 1.6.3 and I can try to update the config to see if that does the job.  However that is still quite an old version by default.  I am trying to update runner & specflow to the latest versions as well (as mentioned in my other post), which perhaps that would resolve this as well, if I can successfully upgrade. 

Thanks,

Erik

Aaaah.... my bad on this one.  We were moving specrun.exe around on the build server and not taking its Newtonsoft.dll with it.  Sorry about the false alarm!
