I'm facing problems with unit tests. I wrote some tests which worked fine and yielded the expected results. Then I wrote a test which loads a TXT file:
[TestMethod]
public void TestLoadStopwords()
{
string[] expected = new[] { "the", "a", "on", "off" };
string[] stopwords = Program.LoadStopwords();
Assert.AreEqual(expected, stopwords);
}This is the called method:
public static string[] LoadStopwords()
{
return File.ReadAllLines("stopwords.txt");
}Since then all my unit tests fail to complete. They start but after a very short time they stop. All titles in the Test Explorer are grey and in every line is the blue rhomb with the white exclamation mark.
What I did so far:
- I needed to install the NuGet package Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform because I got an error like "cannot find Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestFramework.resources".
- I think after that step all tests except the above still where able to run. The above throw an exception like that hinted that the system tried to load symbols or step into code not available on my system but in mscorlib
- I searched some forums that stated I should enable "Debugging" -> "Just my code" and or set up a local symbol cache but to no avail.
What else must I do or install to get rid of this and similar problems?
Exception:
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException
HResult=0x80131602
Message=Mindestens ein Typ in der Assembly kann nicht geladen werden. Rufen Sie die LoaderExceptions-Eigenschaft ab, wenn Sie weitere Informationen benötigen.
Source=mscorlib
StackTrace:
at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes(RuntimeModule module)
at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes() in f:\dd\ndp\clr\src\BCL\system\reflection\module.cs:line 1118
When I continue the test a tab appears in which is written "module.cs not found"
In the LoaderException property are two identical entries:
"Der Typ \"Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.ExecutionScope\" in der Assembly \"Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestFramework, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a\" konnte nicht geladen werden.":"Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.ExecutionScope"
