XUnit.KRunner throws TypeLoadException

[Alxandr]

I'm getting a typeload exception trying to run tests with the XUnit.KRunner (tried on the Mvc repo too just to check it wasn't my code). It can't load XUnit.Sdk.TestFramework.

Error-message:

Kvm list:

What project re you testing?

[Alxandr]

Well, I just downloaded the Mvc repo (https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc) and ran build. It builds fine, and crashes when it comes to the testing stage. But I started with trying to run unit-tests on my own project (it has 1 class in the main project with a property, and a test in the test project which tests the property value, just to test the K build system), and it gives me the same error.

[davidfowl]

Did you copy over the project.json from mvc or did you see what it had in it to enable testing?

[Alxandr]

As said, I ran build on Mvc. So no copying at all. On my local project I copied over the bits required:

{
  "version": "0.1-alpha-*",
  "compilationOptions": {
    "warningsAsErrors": true
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "AppVisum.Core": "",
    "Xunit.KRunner": "0.1-alpha-*",
    "xunit.abstractions": "2.0.0-aspnet-*",
    "xunit.assert": "2.0.0-aspnet-*",
    "xunit.core": "2.0.0-aspnet-*",
    "xunit.execution": "2.0.0-aspnet-*"
  },
  "commands": {
    "test": "Xunit.KRunner"
  },
  "configurations": {
    "net45": {}
  }
}

[Alxandr]

Basically, I did:

git fork https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc.git
cd Mvc
build.bat

And it crashed.

Ok, so I took a peek down in fuslogwv-land, and there's obviously something weird going on:

The solution path is C:\Users\alxan_000\Documents\GitHub\Mvc (that's where global.json is located), yet it's looking for xunit.abstractions under test\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Core.Test. Not only that, klr.exe generates a whole bunch of bind errors, including one for XUnit.KRunner which it still manages to run somehow.

I cleared the fuslogvw errors, and ran build.bat anew, and this is the result (note, it's only set to log errors):

[davidfowl]

The bind errors are normal, assemblies aren't where they normally are when using vNext

[Alxandr]

Shouldn't klr probe first then, to not generate so much error-logs? Anyways, that's sort of besides the point, if the bind-errors aren't a symptom of the problem I have no idea how to debug a TypeLoadException. I can upload my sources, but given that I used Mvc directly, I have a feeling the problem is local, and I need to fix it myself, I just have to figure out what it is.

[davidfowl]

I wouldnt worry too much about the fusion log, it's desktop doing what it does. I see the issue locally as well so it's not your box.

[Alxandr]

Ah, that's good. I was afraid I broke something fundamental (again) -.-

[bricelam]

This may be fixed now that coherence-signed has passed. Xunit.KRuntime was built against a version of xunit newer than the one published on myget.

[Alxandr]

@bricelam Yes. The problem seems to have been resolved.
