  • 0

I’ve got a set of unit tests that used to work very nicely in NCrunch and the Resharper 7 (in VS2012) test runner. I added SignalR and SignalR.Ninject through NuGet, and now my unit tests work in NCrunch, but no longer run in Resharper.

The TestFixtureSetUp failed with the following error: 

SetUp : System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 
'Ninject, Version=2.2.0.0,    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c7192dc5380945e7' 
or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does 
not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

at ProjectName.Infrastructure.SiteResolver.BindSignalR(IKernel kernel)
at ProjectName.Infrastructure.SiteResolver.RegisterServices(IKernel kernel) in SiteResolver.cs: line 29
at ProjectName.Tests.Unit.DataTests.Init() in DataTests.cs: line 48

In App.Config, I have 

<runtime>
  <assemblyBinding>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity name="Ninject" publicKeyToken="c7192dc5380945e7" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

The equivalent in Web.Config works in the actual MVC project.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Update

I’ve tried with shadow-copying on and off, with no difference in outcome.

    From this link (mentioned originally by @bryanbcook), although the Resharper 7.1 upgrade didn’t work, one of the commenters posted some code to force the resolution. I’ve filled in the blanks in my unit test base class:

    public class UnitTestBase
{
    static DataTests()
    {
        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += CurrentDomainAssemblyResolve;
    }

    public static Assembly CurrentDomainAssemblyResolve(
        object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
    {
        var name = new AssemblyName(args.Name);
        return name.Name == "Ninject" 
            ? typeof(KernelBase).Assembly : null;
    }
}
