trying to test custom membership provider

asp.net-membership, c#, nunit, tdd

Solution

I could be because you membership section don't define the assembly name.

<add name="CustomMembershipProvider"
         type="Domain.WebProviders.CustomMembershipProvider"
         ... />

Try to change it to:

<add name="CustomMembershipProvider"
         type="Domain.WebProviders.CustomMembershipProvider, <assemblyname>"
         ... />

Problem

I'm trying to test my custom membership provider as it was described here On testing I have System.TypeLoadException: ``` Could not load type 'Domain.WebProviders' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral...., ``` Here is my code TestBase.cs ``` public class TestBase { protected string _username; protected string _password; protected string _email; protected CustomMembershipProvider _provider; protected NameValueCollection _config; protected MembershipCreateStatus _status = new MembershipCreateStatus(); [SetUp] public void initialize() { _username = "james"; _password = "bondjamesbond"; _email = "jamesbond@mi6.uk"; // setup the membership provider _provider = new CustomMembershipProvider (); _config = new NameValueCollection(); _config.Add("applicationName", "My App"); _config.Add("name", "CustomMembershipProvider "); _config.Add("requiresQuestionAndAnswer", "false"); _config.Add("connectionStringName", "ConnectionString"); _provider.Initialize(_config["name"], _config); _status = new MembershipCreateStatus(); }, ... ``` MembershipTests.cs ``` [TestFixture] class MembershipTests : TestBase { [Test] public void CanUserBeCreated() { using (ISession open session ....) { using (ITransaction begin transaction ... ) { _provider.CreateUser(_username, _password, _email, null, null, true, null, out _status); tx.Commit(); } Assert.AreEqual(MembershipCreateStatus.Success, _status); } } ``` App.config ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="...." /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <!-- Membership provider --> <membership defaultProvider="CustomMembershipProvider"> <providers> <clear /> <add name="CustomMembershipProvider" type="Domain.WebProviders.CustomMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </membership> <!-- Ends membership provider section--> <!-- Role provider --> <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MyRoleProvider"> <providers> <clear /> <add applicationName="/" name="MyRoleProvider" type="Domain.WebProviders.MyRoleProvider" /> </providers> </roleManager> <!-- Ends role provider --> </system.web> </configuration> ``` Updated App.config line with ``` <add name="CustomMembershipProvider" type="Domain.WebProviders.CustomMembershipProvider, "Domain.WebProviders" ``` Now my reported exception is ``` System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Domain.WebProviders' or one of its dependencies ``` Domain.WebProviders is referenced, pretty confused.
