running a test with code behind

[Michael Flynn]

after adding some custom code to a test and building (ctrl-shift-b) successfully, when I attempt to run this test I get the following error:

'12/6/2010 10:02:14 AM' - Execution Stage:PreInit , unexpected error during test execution. Error: System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the test class type 'garbage.TPC' in your test assembly. Please make sure your test code behind is compiled with your latest changes.

Like I said, this happens immediately after I compile the code and then attempt to run the test.  Any ideas as to what is going on or how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Hi Michael Flynn,

This error occurs because of one of a couple (or a mix) of conditions being met:

1. Your test project does not reference the correct assembly that contains the class garbage.TPC
2. You have not referenced System.EnterpriseServices within your project (which contains the classes for object pooling)
3. You have not defined the garbage.TPC class within your project

System.EnterpriseServices is located within:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (.NET 4.0)

To do this in QA edition:

1. Open QA edition and your project within it
2. Click on the Project tab if not already there
3. Click on the Show Settings button in the toolbar
4. Click on Script Options in the left column
5. Click on Add Reference and then target the above .dll file

Add this dll as an assebly reference if not already present within the project. To provide further information on why this is being caused for you, it would be best for us to see an example of the project that is causing the issue. If this is still an issue after confirming the above, can you provide a copy of the project in question (you can use a support ticket to submit it if it contains internal data) in a .zip/.rar compressed format? We'll look for your reply.

Kind regards,

I am running this thru visual studio.  This is something that just started happening too, it wasn't happening one day and then it started happening.  I made the changes you suggested and it is still having the same problem.  I can't attach a zip file, it is 11 MB and the .rar file is not a valid type for uploading, according to your error message when I attempt it.

Hi Michael Flynn,

I just sent you an invitation to my DropBox. You can use it to provide us with the zip file in question since it is too large to be attached. If you have an issue using this folder after following the instructions in the email, please let me know. I'll wait for your reply to let me know the project has been deposited in my dropbox. The invitation was sent to the email address for your account (the one for this thread).

I have just uploaded the .rar file into the drop box you provided.

Hi Michael Flynn,

Thank you for providing your project. I reproduced your error quickly after receiving the file. I show that the file provided was created using version 2010.2.713 of our software (which is different from what I am seeing listed on the inquiry), so I had to first update the file to our Q3 version. After I updated the file, I noticed the same type of error you were receiving:

'12/8/2010 4:31:48 PM' - System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the test class type 'garbage.domestic' in your test assembly. Please make sure your test code behind is compiled with your latest changes.

After a little more digging on the provided solution, I saw that your project is experiencing an issue with the reference assemblies for itself. I would advise the following:

1. Install the Latest Internal build for our Q3 release (if this is not an option, skip to 4)
2. Open your project in the new build
3. You will be told you need to update the project to view it, do so
4. After you open the solution, use the provided .doc file to change the Specific Version property for all references in the project to False

After I did the above, I was able to easily run your tests from my location without the errors we both saw. Please let me know if your feedback differs from mine after setting up your project this way.

I did not have any warning icons next to any of my files in the solution explorer, not in the references area or anywhere else.  Also, I get no errors or warnings when I try to build.  I changed the Specific Version property for all references in the project to False, rebuilt and had no errors.  When I try to run one of the tests, specifically the one called thirdparty, I am still getting the same error message.

[Michael Flynn]

I upgraded to the latest version of telerik, 2010.3.1109.0.  I upgraded the project, made all of the references unspecific and I am now getting this error:

Hello Michael Flynn,

That is the Q3 release, however we are on our Q3 Service Pack 1 release. Service pack one will give the version of 2010.3.1213.0. Try the test in this version and let us know if you are still getting the same error. I am unable to get this error from executing your tests locally (though they fail still due to not being able to access the site).

Kind regards,

Hello Ravi,
    this problem usually occurs when you change something in the code behind and you don't rebuild the test project after that. Even very small changes can cause problems. Please rebuild your project in the location you're execution it from.

Hello Keagan,

and what should I do, when I'm recieving the same error msg in stand-alone Test Studio?


Thank you, Lukas.

[Stoich]

Hello Lukas,
    would you please send you us your Test Project so that we may examine the issue. The issue is unlikely to appear if you create a brand new Test Project.

Hello,

Yes, if I created completely new Test project, this was OK, byt I wan't to add coded step to already quite huge TP.

Unfortunately I can not provide it to you, it contains data about the product and I can not share this.

Is there any other way to solve this issue?


Thank you, L.

Edit: I've prepared small sample TP for my problem.

Hi Lukas,
   as a paying customer you're entitled to a GoToMeeting troubleshooting session. Please go ahead and suggest a time and I'll schedule a meeting.

Hello Stoich,


My proposal is for tomorrow, afternoon time, 14:00 (GMT+2).



Thank you in advance, Lukas.

Hello Chantal,

Unfortunately Stoich is leaving for a long vacation today, so he will be unavailable at that time. I will meet with you instead. I am in Austin, Texas, USA which is GMT -6. Looks like 1400 your time is my 7am (if I am the time difference correct). That's a little too early for me. How about your 16:00, my 9am? I will send a meeting invite via email assuming that will work.

Hello Cody,


Ok, at 4:00 PM (GMT+2). Please send the invitation to my email.

Thank you, Lukas.

Hello Lukas,

Just to document what we found and fixed during our GoToMeeting, we discovered that our two required DLL's (Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html.dll & Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.dll) were missing from the test projects script references. Once we added them the compile error was resolved.
