Exception in ArtOfTest.WebAii

[imran]

I am getting this exception while automating using ArtOfTest.WebAii in VS2017, what could be the reason.

threw exception: 
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Settings' threw an exception. 
---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, 
Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi Imran,

Thank you for reaching us out. 

Could you please add the NewtonSoft.Json.dll into GAC. Please use the dll which is deployed with the Testing Framework installation - it could be found in the bin folder. The default installation path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Test Studio\Bin if you have upgraded the product and C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Test Studio\Bin if you have performed a new installation. 

You could double check the version of the dll in the bin folder and if it is the same as the one listed in the exception. 

I hope this will work for you as well. Though in case of questions please let me know!

Hi Farhaan,

Thank you for reaching us out. 

Could you please provide the code that generates the listed error? It will be also helpful if you copy the whole message of the error if it contains any other information. 

Please also let me know which is the version of Test Studio you are using and which Visual Studio you have on your machine? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Farhaan,

Based on your explanation it seems that you have referenced the ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll and ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.dll but have you installed the Telerik Testing Framework/Test Studio on your machine or just copy/pasted the dlls? The error is usually associated with either missing or broken installation. Can you please re-install and try again?
Also there should be an InnerException for why the .net Runtime fails to load Settings type. 

Hope this helps!
