Question

I have a test project with a web.config file in the test project. I keep getting null when I try to read a value from the appSettings section of the web.config.

I have a reference to System.configuration and a using statement using System.Configuration;

    <appSettings>
<add key="SatisfactionSurveyLink" value="Link"/>
    </appSettings>


        [TestMethod()]
        public void TestReadFromAppSettings() 
        {
            String surveyLink = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SatisfactionSurveyLink"];

            Assert.IsNotNull(surveyLink);
        }

I’ve tried many different things and can’t get this to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

thanks,

Ronald

if it is a test project created as class library, does not need the web.config but the app.config 😉
