Telerik Testing Framework do not work without Test Studio

[Alexander]

Hello!

After updating to Testing_Framework_2021_2_0809_1_Free we have an issue with our UI tests for WPF app.

Running tests failed with following exception:

'System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.TestStudio.SourceControl, Version=2021.2.809.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f2078c57222e4731' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'

This dll is missing in package.

And we could found it only in Test Studio installer.

So seems the package is broken as we could not get necessary DLL.

Hello Alexander,

I am sorry to hear about the encountered compilation error in your testing project. You are correct that the Telerik.TestStudio.SourceControl assembly is not distributed with Telerik Testing Framework installer and I created a public bug report on your behalf to address that. The product manager and engineering team will review it in more details and consider it for future releases. You can add your vote and follow the public item to get notifications for its progress.

As you mentioned, the DLL is available in Test Studio standalone installer, which is the Web & Desktop and Ultimate. You can start a free trial to install that product and get the necessary assembly. Please note that the trial will only include the latest version of Test Studio, which means that you need to have the same version of the Testing Framework. Since you are now using version 2021.2.0809, I attached that particular version in my reply. 

I hope the above details and provided DLL file will help you with the compilation error and enable you to continue with the test automation. Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue.

Regards,
