I am trying to run my tests on TeamCity which is currently installed on my machine.
System.InvalidOperationException
:The Entity Framework provider type '
System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer
,Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
for the 'System.Data.SqlClient
' ADO.NET provider could not be loaded. Make sure the provider assembly is available to the running application.See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information..
I have no reference to System.Data.Entity
in any of my projects as was suggested on codeplex for upgrading to EF6.
So, I am not sure why am I getting this exception. I do not get any such exception when I run the tests from VS.
I did try to set CopyLocal to false then again to true.. but that does not seem to work either.
Update
My app.config has the following . Does this cause some behavior that I don't understand ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
</configSections>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
</entityFramework>
</configuration>
I get the following stacktrace in teamcity .

answer and it worked! It just stinks that I have to add a separate class like this just to get EF to work in TeamCity. – a11smiles
