Closed Issue: Unable to find assembly when Deserializing [14004]

Lazydev — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 11:17:08 GMT

I have a test that relies on deserializing data via a call to BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(). This method relies on the availability of a type definied in an assembly referenced from the assembly making the call. While this code works perfectly by turning my test assembly into a console application and calling my test from void Main(...), it fails when called via nBehave-Console.exe with the following.

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException : Unable to find assembly 'X.Y.Z, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Y.Tests.Z.Load() in C:\Dev\X\Core\Trunk\src\Y\Y.Tests

By turning on Fusion logging we also get

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry (29/07/2011 @ 12:51:08) ***

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified.

This implies to me it might be worth spinning up the test code in a new AppDomain with a new AppBase of the Test.dll's current directory.

In fact my hack is to add the following.

[When("I try to load")]
public void Load()
{
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve);

//LoadSomethingAndCallBinaryFormatter.Deserialize
}

System.Reflection.Assembly CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
{
var dlls = Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), args.Name + ".dll");
if (dlls.FirstOrDefault() != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Redirecting assemblyLoad" + dlls.First());
return Assembly.LoadFrom(dlls.First());
}
var exes = Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), args.Name + ".exe");
if (exes.FirstOrDefault() != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Redirecting assemblyLoad" + exes.First());
return Assembly.LoadFrom(exes.First());
}
return null;
}

Is there any reason this is by design?

Its a bug, and if my repro is correct it has already been fixed in 0.5.1. You can get it from the download page (http://nbehave.codeplex.com/releases/view/68223)

Closed Issue: SerializationException for scenario with examples thrown when config file included in project [13374]

Lazydev — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:59:18 GMT

If there is an App.config file in the test project NBheave creates a RemotableStoryRunner. When it encounters a scenario with examples a Serialization Exception is thrown. The exception complains that NBehave.Narrator.Framework.Example is not marked as serializable.

If the config file is excluded, then there is no exception. If the examples are removed then there is no exception again.
Comments:

fixed, see http://code.google.com/p/nbehave/issues/detail?id=96&can=1

Closed Issue: Text plain scenarios and Resharper [13705]

Lazydev — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:06:07 GMT

The issue is that its quite useful to run text plain scenarios via ReSharper or any other xunit framework runners.

I have implemented a variant of this patch, it uses text files instead of features/scenarios directly in the code

Closed Issue: Empty scenario file causes NullReferenceException in NBehave-Console.exe [10291]

naeemkhedarun — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 21:51:32 GMT

When running NBehave-Console.exe with the /sf argument, against a file that (stupidly) had no "Given", "When" or "Then" lines in it (it had them in lowercase :P), i encountered the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at NBehave.Narrator.Framework.ScenarioStepRunner.RunScenario(ScenarioSteps scenarioSteps, Int32 scenarioCounter)
at NBehave.Narrator.Framework.ScenarioStepRunner.RunScenarios(IEnumerable`1 scenarios, StoryResults storyResults)
at NBehave.Narrator.Framework.TextRunner.RunStories(StoryResults storyResults)
at NBehave.Narrator.Framework.TextRunner.RunStories(StoryResults results, IEventListener listener)
at NBehave.Narrator.Framework.RunnerBase.Run(IEventListener listener)
at NBehave.Console.Program.Main(String[] args)

While the obvious workaround to this is to not have empty scenario files, as a new user of NBehave, I would find it easier to get up to speed if this was replaced with an informative error message.

This is against build 4.5 (http://nbehave.codeplex.com/releases/view/36413)

What do you think about adding support for TestDriven.NET like every good test framework ?
I have already look inside NBehave code and it's possible if introduce the concept of filter inside your framework.
That means an interface IFilter passed as parameter to the method
StoryResults Run(IEventListener listener, IFilter filter) of class StoryRunner
If you think this can be helpfull I'll complete my work and send you the code (maybe a codeplex patch)

That would be awesome Claudio! I will go ahead a make this a work item and you can submit a patch for it. What do you think?

Hate to do this, but I tried using the contact link on the People tab and the server threw an exception.

I was wondering if you could contact me about combining our two projects. Use the conact link on my blog.
