I got the same issue ! Is Gallio Icarus running (Supporting) on Visual Enterprise 2015 ?

Thanks,

[gas421]

Hello, actually I have the same issue with VS2015 and Gallio. Will Gallio will support it? Thanks

[seanamos]

Also experiencing this with our projects that use MBUnit

[gas421]

It will be supported?

[gesmaks]

I am experiencing the same issue when running tests on Gallio Icarus 3.4 build 11. The test assembly was built using Visual Studio 2015 Professional. The tests worked fine when the test assembly was built using VS 2013.

[gas421]

This project I guess is discontinued... so sad....

I found a workaround - I installed msbuild v12 (2013) and when I build the test project using this version of mbuild I'm able to run it from Gallio Icarus. When I built it from VS2015 using msbuild v14 I had the same error as described here

[gesmaks]

The workaround provided by @radekpribyl works for me. Thank you very much!

Hi all, Any help with the below stuff is much appreciated. I really need some support on How Can I run my MBunit tests in Gallio Echo. I have my MBunit tests in VS2013. I could add the test.dll in Gallio Icarus and run it manually. But I would like to do it from command line using gallio echo. I am not sure how to start with this.

I have my test.dll in this path in my local machine "C:\Users\suba\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Links\Links\bin\Debug\Tests.dll"

I have my Gallio.Echo.Exe installed in this path "C:\Gallio\bin"

I know the command to run tests.dll is 'Gallio.Echo Tests.dll' I don't know from which path and what command to use to run my test.dll in command line

Should we need anything else that needs to be specified within my test code. Please guide with this.

I worked on this today. The problem was that the Microsoft.Cci.Metadata library which was used in Gallio 3.4 did not support the new PDB files generated by VS2015, (it fails with "unknown metadata code 7" exception). Because the library code was embedded in the assembly (or some other magic I'm not aware of), updating to new DLL's was not possible. I got Gallio build on VS2015, get an updated Microsoft.Cci.Metadata build (no binary distributions exist), made the build work half-assed. The final problem is that assembly versions show up as 0.0.0.0 and that causes problems with the test runner. Feel free to clone from https://github.com/ssg/mbunit-v3 and hack away. I will update this thread if I get to make it work perfectly.

The workaround by @radekpribyl worked for me as well . Thank you !

To those using the suggestion from @radekpribyl . Understand this isn't a workaround, it is just rolling back to the SDK that already works with MbUnit. You still lose the features introduced in the newer SDK that came with VS2015.

[ssg]

I gave up and switched to NUnit fyi. https://gist.github.com/ssg/5329684

[awalsh128]

Same boat as you. NUnit has active dev and the easiest migration path from MbUnit. Thanks for providing the cheat sheet.

We switched to xunit:

Hello I try use the @radekpribyl solution, but I don't know how.

Where do I specify the msbuild version for a local build ?

Thanks.
