Question

I have a class that looks like this:

public class MyService
{
    private MyService(){}
    public static string GetStuff()
    {
        var stuffDid = new MyService();
        return stuffDid.DoStuff();
    }
    private string DoStuff()
    {
        //do stuff
    }
    //other private helpers

}

Obviously I left a lot out, but that’s the general shell.

Now, I have a unit test:

[Test]
public void MyTest()
{

    var results = MyService.GetStuff();
}

I set breakpoints on my unit test, and I can see that results has data. However, I set breakpoints literally all over MyService and nothing gets hit unless I put them on a curly brace. Which I can’t understand since results has data, my return statements in MyService should be getting hit, right?

Am I missing something? Did I completely forgot the most basic rules of something? How come nothing in MyService gets hit? And if I manually step into it with F11, it just hops around and doesn’t even go through every line like I would expect. Also when I step through manually I tend to hit certain code after I should have hit it originally. And any switch statements seem to default to whatever the first option is, even though the value being switched should CLEARLY enter a different case.

I’ve even tried making MyService constructor public and taking away all static methods, and it still doesn’t work.

My Tests and ‘Core’ code are in the same solution, but different projects(Test and Core, respectively). Other tests don’t have an issue hitting break points in Core, only this on particular test (the only test that is testing MyService).

I’ve deleted my PDB files and cleaned solution. Still nothing.

It turns out this was related to Code Coverage being on.

Turning it off fixed the issue.
