'EPiServer.Find.Framework.SearchClient' threw an exception in MS unit test
My guess is that SearchClient.Instance needs a web context which you dont have when running a unit test?

If mocking is an option for your test you could use IClient in your Web API contoller, as SearchClient.Instance is an implementation of IClient

Can you please provide me a code sample of using IClient instead of SearchClient.Instance in the Web API controller?

I have a Web API controller which use Epi Find to get data and it works perfectly in the website, but fails the MS unit test with following exception: "The type initializer for 'EPiServer.Find.Framework.SearchClient' threw an exception". The exception is thrown at this statement:
var client = SearchClient.Instance;What is the reason that the SearchClient.Instance is not working when the unit TestMethod call the Controller Get method? and how to fix it?
