Yes thanks.  I was getting nowhere and couldn't figure out why.

We ran into the very same issue when we started running our own Unit Tests on our V4 product (which runs only under VS2008).

Here’s the code we’re using – you’ll find an Initialize() method in all our V4 Unit Tests.

 

    [TestInitialize]

    public void Initialize() {

      // With the VS2008 Test framework the AppDomain and base directory will be pointing

      // to the common/ide directory and config file probing will fail if you're using the AppHelper. 

      // Here’s a workaround:

      IdeaBladeConfig.ConfigFileAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("AppHelper");

    }

 

Note that the initialization isn’t strictly required in [TestInitialize], that’s just what we use.

Hello there,
I spotted a similar problem when using the Persistence Manager in a UserControl during Designtime in another thread. But it seems this problem also occurs when creating Unit Tests with VSTS2008. I have a blank Form and some generated entities in a Model. I tried to write a first Test (I'm working through the Developers Guide). When I try to run the Test, it fails with a IdeaBlade.Util.IdeaBladeException:

Test method Model.Test.tbl_OETest.FullNameTest threw exception:  IdeaBlade.Util.IdeaBladeException: Unable to obtain a valid configuration file on P1058.

Probing path:
1) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config - not found
2) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe.config - not found
3) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\vsdiag_regwcf.exe.config - not found
4) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VSTestHost.exe.config - not found
5) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VSTST-FileConverter.exe.config - not found
6) File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\IdeaBlade.ibconfig - not found
7) Design-time execution detected - Will not probe for app.config or IdeaBlade.ibconfig in AppHelper
8) IdeaBlade.ibconfig fallthru - Default IdeaBlade.ibconfig used
9) Logging file:

Stack Trace:
IdeaBlade.Util.IdeaBladeConfig.AssertNonDefaultVersion()
IdeaBlade.Persistence.PersistenceManager..ctor(Boolean pShouldConnect, String pDataSourceExtension, PersistenceServiceOption pPersistenceServiceOption)
IdeaBlade.Persistence.PersistenceManager.get_DefaultManager()
Model.Test.tbl_OETest.FullNameTest() in C:\src\VB.NET\Visual Studio 2008\UserDB_ORM\Model.Test\tbl_OETest.vb: line 69

-->
    <TestMethod()> _
    Public Sub FullNameTest()
        Dim pm As PersistenceManager = PersistenceManager.DefaultManager
Here it fails when I run the Test

-->
If I call the Test Method in the Form Load Method it works(!)
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim testobj As New Model.Test.tbl_OETest
        testobj.FullNameTest()
    End Sub

I can not understand what a Test Class has to do with Designtime, and even if it would, I fail to find a DesignMode Property there to work around this. And even IF it is a Designtime problem, then why does it work in my Form_Load Event? :-)
