While using Visual Studio 2008 and DevForce 3.5.5.1 Beta, I ran into an issue with ‘PersistenceManager.DefaultManager’ when I tried to run unit tests. If I run the application I get the correct value in the text box.  If I try to run the Unit Test “PersistanceManagerInUnitTests /DD.Tests.cs”, I get the following exception:  'PersistenceManager.DefaultManager' threw an exception of type 'IdeaBlade.Util.IdeaBladeException'.

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.
