Using JustMock outside of test runners/ visual studio

[Ben Jones]

I'm wondering whether I am simply trying to achieve the impossible, but.....

I have successfully mocked up some legacy code and able to run my tests. I have then built a simple WPF app to utilise the same mocking approach and publish the results (without using test fixtures)

However, when I try to run the app outside of visual studio, I get the following exception:

Telerik.JustMock.Core.ElevatedMockingException

Message=Cannot mock 'System.String get_blah()'. The profiler must be enabled to mock, arrange or execute the specified target.
       Source=Telerik.JustMock

I have checked the event viewer and the profiler is enabled.

Is this issue simply that this will never run outside of Visual Studio/any other test runner?

Ideally, we would like to be able to create a suite of automated regression testing apps for non-devs to use.

 

Kind Regards

Hello Ben,

When running outside of Visual Studio, you should follow the steps in our integration articles in the documentation.

My guess is that the actual event in the event log states that the profiler requested to not be activated. Most likely, the JUSTMOCK_INSTANCE environment variable isn't set at the point where you run the tests.
