I'm having an issue deploying on Azure from TFSPreview.com

I checkin my code, it builds and the test fails with these:

Failed TestGetClient GlobalDMSTest.GlobalDMSTest.TestGetClient Unable to create instance of class GlobalDMSTest.GlobalDMSTest. Error: IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeException: Unable to initialize EntityManager

Unable to get metadata for GlobalDMS.Login. Make sure it is a valid entity type or POCO type with a KeyAttribute ---> System.ArgumentException: Unable to get metadata for GlobalDMS.Login. Make sure it is a valid entity type or POCO type with a KeyAttribute.

The website does not work either with a similar message

ArgumentException: Unable to get metadata for Security.LoginUser. Make sure it is a valid entity type or POCO type with a KeyAttribute

Any ideas?

Hi Jean,

Are you working with Code First entities?

Based on the error message, it looks like the .ibmmx might not be embedded in the model assembly.

Hi Silvio,

Yes I'm using code first entities. Since that first post I changed te way i deploy my application to azure instead of using Team Foundation Service (tfspreview.com I use Visual Studio deploy to Azure.

I get this error now

The original error happens when the PostSharp build tasks don't run during the build. That's a common problem if PostSharp fails to install properly due to a running process in the background. For build servers on the other hand, you have to take steps in your project to make the PostSharp build tasks work. See the following link.

mgood, by original you mean the one posted on 2012-Sep-11 at 8:19pm

I realized it and published to Azure using Visual Studio, so that should solved that issue.

This looks like you are not deploying all the required assemblies. The question is which one is missing. Unfortunately, if you test this outside of Azure any required assemblies that didn't get deployed to the bin folder are simply loaded from the GAC. That's not gonna happen on Azure. You need to deploy every assembly into the bin folder. Make sure all your referenced assemblies have "Copy Local" set to true. This is most likely a dependency of one of your referenced assemblies that is missing and is not easy to track down.
