Installing MvcMailer corrupts CodedUI tests #61

Closed jenshorn closed 11 years ago

jenshorn commented 11 years ago

When MvcMailer is installed via NuGet it is no longer possible to edit UIMaps for CodedUI testing which means it's no longer possible to generate code for new tests. I see the same issue on another computer that has retrieved the code from the source control. When trying to open UIMap or create a new test with Test builder this message pops up:

The following package failed to load:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\assembly\dl3\13YH5408.B6N\D995C8N6.CK1\02143ec0\004bcc37_c67fcd01\Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.IE.dll.

It is always the same path even on different projects even though it looks like a random cache path. I have deleted the folders manually but they are recreated. Have not been able to check the path on other computers though. So far I have not encountered this issue when installing anything else, that is why I suspect MvcMailer to be the cause. Perhaps it has something to do with T4Scaffolding? However installing that seperately does not cause this behaviour.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new MVC 3 project (Internet, aspx)
  2. Add a new project -> Test -> Test project
  3. Add Coded UI test to test project
  4. Generate some UI test with Coded UI test builder
  5. Now it should be possible to open the UIMap.uitest with Coded UI test Editor
  6. Install-Package MvcMailer
  7. Close down the entire solution (not sure this is required)
  8. Open the UIMap.uitest with Coded UI test Editor and you should get the error stated above.

If MvcMailer is uninstalled then it is possible to open the UIMap again (restart of VS might be required).

A workaround to enable editing uf UIMap again is to unload the MVC project and restart VS, then it is possible to generate code for tests again.

Forgot to add that the assembly creating the error (Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.IE.dll) is not referenced from any projects in the solution.

Thanks for reporting this. Can you send me some stack trace?

MvcMailer uses NUnit for the tests and doesn't refer to Microsoft test framework.

Unfortunately there is no stack trace (that I can find), just the error message in the popup when opening/double clicking UIMap.uitest.

That almost makes it more interesting why that file is displayed in the error.

Why is this closed? The issue is still present in MvcMailer 4.0.
