Problem with file permissions using MBunit/Gallio
I have a test that that uses ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["File"] to read from app.config in .net test project.
Running the tests inside Visual Studio or nant on local machine succeeds. Running the tests in TeamCity with Gallio/MBunit it fails, the value passed is null where ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["File"]. Suggestions?
Please sign in to leave a comment.
Could you please check user account that is used for build agent service. Please make sure this is a real local/domain account with administrative rights on the machine.
Could you please check the same app.config is loaded locally and under teamcity.
Thanks!
I don't know how to solve your specific problem, but I would suggest abstracting out your configuration that you use in your tests. You could use a mocking framework or just do it raw. Something like this:
public class IConfiguration
{
string File { get; set; }
}
public class AppConfigConfiguration : IConfiguration
{
string File { get { return AppConfig["File"]; } set { AppConfig["File"] = value; } }
}
If you don't use a mocking framework, just implement one inside of your test class:
class FakeConfiguration : IConfiguration
{
string File { get { return "FakeFile"; } set {} }
}
Hope that helps,
