I moved from VS2008 running on XP 32 bit to VS2010 running on Win7 64 bit and just noticed that I can't debug in NUnit like I used to.
On my old system, I just went to Debug|Attach to Process, chose NUnit.exe, and ran my tests from the NUnit GUI. VS2008 would stop at the breakpoints just as normal.
Now when I try this using NUnit 2.5.5.10112 on the new configuraiton it just skips over my breakpoints.
I have an app that I am testing with NUNit. The project im testing has several helper classes that are created as public static readonly. When I run the NUnit tests, they all fail with the same error
Systems.Code.Test.TransactionTest.CreateDataContext_ConnectionString_ReturnsDataContextObject:
Im pretty new to NUnit and am beginning the process of setting up my tests. Some of these test involve a database, specifically checking a particular value against a value in a database and if its not greater than the last retrieved value, flag an error. Whats the best way to test in this scenario ? should I write one value to a database then create another value thats out of sequence and run a database query ? This would involve putting a known value into the table, then running the query with another value.
There is no rollback attribute for nunit, so I gues using TransactionScope would work, that way I could return the database to a known state after the test. There tables have foreign keys so that means adding a lot of extra 'dummy' data first to some of the other tables. Is this sort of 'testing' the best way ? I basically need to perform the test based on an existing data value and I guess this must be pretty standard stuff, so whats the best way ?
As I understand it, the tests should be self contained, so any data i insert into the database during the test should be removed afterwards, is this correct ? If so, it means I need to insert test data into 6 additional tables just to test one function, then remove it after the test has completed, is this the normal way to to this ?
One of my NUnit tests has to read in some values from config files. In my main application this process works perfectly well, however when I run the unit test, the code that reads in the values from the config files doesnt read anything in. Ive tried putting app.config in my unit test project (I even tried web.config) but nothing seems to work. Are there any special steps involved when reading from config files in an nunit test ?
View 1 RepliesI have been maintaining a web application that is written using C# in VS2005 for about a year. Recently TFS was reorganized and my supervisor moved all the source code from one lacation to another. Since then I have not been able to get the application to display properly. It took me a while but I finally figured out that the issue is tied to the StyleSheetTheme property of the page declarative tag. When I removed it I can compile but the page doesn't render properly. When i add it almost all of the controls fail with this error: "An unhandled exception has occured. Cannot instantiate type 'WebPart' because there is no public parameterless constructor". This even happens on standard ASP.NET controls. I started to upgrade the application to VS 2008 but that has opened up all sorts of problems. I need to get this application running so I can continue to maintain the application.

I had the strangest bug yesterday while trying to debug in vs.net 2005....
I had an '05 web application. I clicked the "Run" button to start debugging, and the webpage popped up fine. I could run through the pages fine. Everything seemed fine....UNTIL!
Until I tried to start inserting breakpoints into my code. The application ignored them. In addition, I noticed my little green visual studio "Start Debugging" arrow (which is normally greyed out while in debug mode) was green. It was as if visual studio completely detached itself from my website I was trying to debug.
After playing around with it for a while, I realized I also had a vs.net 2008 solution open as well. My '08 solution wasn't in debug mode or anything, it was just sitting there open. I just happened to close it, not thinking anything of it, and presto! My 2005 debugger started working again!
So basically, I can't debug an '05 solution (or at least a web solution, as that's all I tried) while I also have an '08 solution open.
I got a new computer with vs2008 and moved my app onto it for development. I can navigate pages but none of the AJAX is working. I get these IE errors "sys is undefined" and "webpartmanager" is undefined. I found lots of info on the web but none seemed to work/be applicable to my situation. My web.config file looks to be fine and I kept the application at asp.net 2.0.
View 9 RepliesI get this error when I hit F5 in VS 2008. I have checked that Windows authentication is enabled on the site and it is. I can mannully attach the debugger to the IIS process and it works. What could be wrong? I have tried alot of things without success.

Is there a way I can turn this off as I'm not trying to make any attempts debugging remotely.

I am running Visual Studio 2010 (as Admin), IIS 7 on Windows 7 x64. I am able to run the ASP.NET web site in IIS 7 without debugging just fine, but when I press F5 to debug it, I get: Unable to start debugging on the web server. Could not start ASP.NET debugging. More information may be available by starting the project without debugging. Unfortunately the help link is not helping me much and leads down a heck of a large tree of things. I checked the following:
Security requirements — I don't recall having to do anything special before. The worker process in IIS7 is w3wp.exe. It says that if it's running as ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE I must have Administrator privileges to debug it. How do I find out if I need to change something here? Web site Property Pages > Start Options > Debuggers > ASP.NET is checked. Use custom server is set to the URL of the site (which works fine without debugging). Debugging is enabled in web.config. Application is using ASP.NET 3.5 (I want to move to 4.0 eventually but I have some migration to deal with). Application pool: Classing .NET AppPool (also tried DefaultAppPool). Surely it shouldn't be that hard to install IIS, VS, create a web site, and start testing it?
I've just downloaded NUNit and would like it to be an option for my Test Project provider when I create a new MVC 2 application. At the moment the only option I am getting is the Visual Studio (MSTest) option.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently trying to upgrade our build server at work, going from having no build server to having one!
I'm using JetBrains' TeamCity (having used ReSharper for a couple of years I trust their stuff), and intend to use NUnit and MSBuild.
However, I've come up with an issue: it appears that it is not possible to test an ASP.NET web site with NUnit. I had assumed it would be possible to configure it to test App_Code after a build, however it seems that the only way to do tests nicely is through converting the web site to a web application
How could I go about this? the testing needs to be able to be fired automatically from TeamCity.
I am just starting to learn MVC and have installed NUnit to use for testing. The NUnit option does not appear when creating a new MVC app, so I followed this tutorial
http://www.nikmakris.com/blog/post/Setting-Up-ASPNET-MVC-with-NUnit-for-Visual-Studio-2008-Standard-Edition-Visual-Web-Developer-Express-2008.aspx.
However, when I run devenv /setup it doesn't work (says it does not exist) and so I cannot install the NUnit template. Surely there is something else I can do to be able to install the templates?

View 2 RepliesI need to extract meta-data of different files, as uploaded by the user.
For this I found out dsofile.dll from MS. Now the problem is that the version I've downloaded from
[URL] is working fine with Windows XP but giving run-time error in Windows 7 64-bit system. Finding more on the error I was getting I came to know that the dll would not work for 64 bit OS. I also downloaded 64-bit from [URL] but still am getting below run-time error:

How can I solve this run-time error and from where will I get dll working in VS2008 Website on Windows 7 64-bit?

But I have other tests that are essentially deployment tests (you can't test how the production deployment went using a unit test on a build server) and I'd like to use the nUnit framework to run these.But, the production server doesn't have the nUnit command line executer. I'm only allowed to run aspx pages and reference .dll's in bin.What do I need to do to run tests (yeah, yeah, they're not really unit tests--relax) using nUnit in a webpage? Is there a straight forward way to do this, or does this essentially require porting the nUnit winforms test runner to ASP.NET?
