I would like to access sitecore context in MS Test Project. I am using Sitecore 8.1 and the MS test project (Framework: 4.5.2) using VS 2005 I followed some of the instructions found here http://getfishtank.ca/blog/unit-testing-in-sitecore-with-context-and-app-config
So I have all the required DLLS and sitecore config files in my unit test project.
My code is below:
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
State.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string dataFolder = Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.DataFolder;
string licenseFile = Settings.LicenseFile;
var db = Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("master");
var home = db.GetItem("/sitecore/content/");
Assert.AreEqual(5, 5);
}
Now I am getting error below:
Result StackTrace:

Result Message:
Test method MSUnitTestSitecore.UnitTest1.TestMethod1 threw exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Sitecore.SecurityModel.License.LicenseManager' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Devarea_Debajit\MyProjects\MSUnitTestSitecore\MSUnitTestSitecore\bin\Debug\Sitecore.Nexus.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515) ---> System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information.
I have checked the license file path and its correct. I have also added this
<runtime>
<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
</runtime>
Can anyone help me ?
In order to unit test using Sitecore.Context, you will need to copy all Sitecore configs from the App_Config into your unit testing project as well as copying across the web.config
and renaming it to app.config
. You can find a more detailed walkthrough here: http://getfishtank.ca/blog/unit-testing-in-sitecore-with-context-and-app-config
I would however suggest you use Sitecore FakeDb to run your unit tests. This will allow you to isolate your test better without reliance on a running Sitecore instance/database and allowing for more controlled tests to be executed since the data will not be constantly changing due to updates.
Hello Debajit Mukherjee,
I have fallen into the same scenario, where my modules were tightly coupled with Sitecore.Context information. So, i was wanted to use Sitecore.Context into my tests.
You can find more information below on how to achieve it. https://pratiksatikunvar.wordpress.com/2016/04/04/unit-testing-in-sitecore-using-nunit-with-sitecore-context-information/
Hope it helps you.
Please let me know if any further clarification required.
Thanks
This may not be relevant in your case but I had a very similar issue and eventually found that it was because the Sitecore.Nexus DLL was blocked.
In my case I removed that reference to Sitecore.Nexus from my test project, unblocked the DLL, re-added the reference and all was well.
See: http://www.limilabs.com/blog/unblock-dll-file for details of unblocking DLLs
