xUnit 1.9.2 and .Net 4.0
.net-4.0, xunit, xunit.net
Solution
Thanks, Mark. But I have since found there is a separate xunit.console.clr4.exe executable for .net 4.0.
Maybe I'm bitter after wasting 1/2 day on this but there is no mention of this on the xUnit web site. In fact the site only talks about running the tests with VS. I found reference to the console runner on blog sites.
Starting to wonder about xUnit, maybe I should look at nUnit. It appears to at least have documentation.
Problem
I am trying to implement xUnit for C# testing but am running into a strange error. I can run the unit tests in VisualStudio (2013) but when I try to run the same tests using the GUI or console I get the error: ``` xUnit.net console test runner (32-bit .NET 2.0.50727.5472) Copyright (C) 2013 Outercurve Foundation. Could not load file or assembly '[...]' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. ``` My project is using .net 4.0 and it appears xUnit is using 2.0. I found a couple of posts here and here, among others, saying you can edit the config file but this didn't work for me. Both of these posts are a couple years old and they don't even agree with each other. One says the entry should be 'supportedRuntime' while the other is 'requiredRuntime'. Neither of them work for me, however. I also thought about downloading the source and compiling it using 4.0 but according to the web site it requires VS 2010. Running the tests within the IDE is great but I also need to use the console runner in order to implement automated tests on our build machine. Is there a way to get this to work? Or is xUnit no longer being maintained? I also found another post where the issue was supposedly fixed back in 2010. Maybe this is a regression failure?
