I have a solution in Visual Studio 2010 that includes a test project that uses WatiN. It also has a test project with unit tests. Both use NUnit as the framework. I use Gallio to run/debug the tests.
I'm trying out Visual Studio 2012. My project builds fine. I can use the NUnit GUI to run both sets of tests. The Test Explorer lists all tests (unit and UI). I can run/debug the unit tests from within Visual Studio.
When I run the UI tests from within Visual Studio 2012 I get an error:
The CurrentThread needs to have it's ApartmentState set to ApartmentState.STA to be able to automate Internet Explorer.
The error occurs on the following line in my TestFixtureSetup function:
browser = new IE(...);
I've Googled the error and seen plenty of suggestions about adding lines to the app.config. The odd thing is that I already have those lines.
<sectionGroup name="NUnit">
<section name="TestRunner"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
</sectionGroup>
...
<NUnit>
<TestRunner>
<!-- Valid values are STA or MTA (Others are ignored) -->
<add key="ApartmentState" value="STA" />
</TestRunner>
</NUnit>
Has anyone gotten WatiN working with the Test Explorer in Visual Studio 2012? Any suggestions for getting it to work? Are there known compatibility issues?
I also tried installing Gallio with the RC and it broke some things that required a bit of effort to fix. I would prefer to use the integrated Test Explorer.
