Hiya, I'm trying to unit test certain classes within my EPiServer project. However, whenever I try to run the tests I get the following error: "Test method RFKO_Tests.RFPropertyGetter_Tests.TestMethod1 threw exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\[PathToWebApp]\TestResults\[username_computername] 2007-11-14 12_15_3\Outweb.config'.." With the following stack trace:

at EPiServer.ConfigFileSettings.ᐁ()
   at EPiServer.ConfigFileSettings.get_AllAppSettings()
   at EPiServer.ApplicationConfiguration..ctor(String configFileName)
   at EPiServer.Global.get_EPConfig()
   at EPiServer.DataAccess.DynamicPropertiesDB..ctor()
   at EPiServer.DataAbstraction.DynamicProperty.ListForPage(PageReference pageLink)
   at EPiServer.DataAbstraction.DynamicProperty.Load(PageReference pageLink, String propertyName)

Has anyone seen this before? // Peter

I'm no expert on unit testing, but the error message would indicate that EPiServer is having problems being run in a non-web environment (which would not surprise me a bit :-) ) /Steve

We use unit testing internally at EPiServer and have this base class to setup the configuration, hope it helps.


public abstract class BaseTest
{
    private static System.Configuration.Configuration _config = null;
    public static string TempDir = @"c:\temp\";
    private const string sourceFile = "..\\out\\web.config";

    public BaseTest()
    {
       InitializeNewConfig();
    }

     public static void InitializeNewConfig()
     {
       _config = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(sourceFile);
       EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.InitializeAllSettings(_config);

       // Ensure we have no cached paths in case we have changed application root settings etc.
       EPiServer.Web.PermanentLinkMapStore.Clear();
     }
}

Hello Per, Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that we're using EPiServer 4.61, so that code doesn't work with our version. I don't know if there are any similar to these in the old EPi:


EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.InitializeAllSettings(_config);

EPiServer.Web.PermanentLinkMapStore.Clear();

Cheers! // Peter
