NChrunch and Dependancy Inject via Spring.Net

There is a problem with loading Assemblys in the ApplicationDomain of NCrunch while using NCrunch:

Assembly A - *.cs file:

namespace ClassLibrary2
{
   public interface IInterface
   {
      int I { get; set; }
   }

   public class ClassInterface : IInterface
   {
      public int I { get; set; }
   }

   public class ClassFactory
   {
      public static object GetClassInterface()
      {
         var context = new Spring.Context.Support.XmlApplicationContext("WeavingInfo.xml");
         return context.GetObject("abc");
      }
   }
}

Assembly B (Tests) - WeavingInfo.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<objects xmlns="http://www.springframework.net" default-lazy-init="true">

  <object id="abc" type="ClassLibrary2.ClassInterface"/>

</objects>

Assembly B (Tests) - *.cs file:

namespace Tests
{
   [TestFixture]
   public class TestClass
   {
      [Test]
      public void test()
      { //////////
         IInterface x = null;
         //object y = new ClassABC();

         x = (IInterface)ClassFactory.GetClassInterface();
      }

   }
}

If you activate the Flag "CopyReferencedAssembliesToWorkspace" for the Test-Assembly than the test will crash because NChrunch has the Assembly A 2 Times:

It throws a InvalidCastException because it has the Class from the one loaded Assembly (25) and the Interface from the other loaded Assembly (17):
ExceptionText:
Das Objekt des Typs "ClassLibrary2.ClassInterface" kann nicht in Typ "ClassLibrary2.IInterface" umgewandelt werden.
Translated: The object can't cast from the Type "ClassLibrary2.ClassInterface" to the Type "ClassLibrary2.IInterface".

If you deactivate the Flag "CopyReferencedAssembliesToWorkspace" for the Test-Assembly than the test will run perfectly.
But in my case I need the Assemblies in the Bin-Folder for other operations e.g. DynamicCodeCompilation.

So, to deactivate is no solution for me.
I Think there is a problem with the order of dynamic loading of assemblies over Activator or something like this.

If you need the complete VS-Solution than Mail me and I send it to you.

Hi Heiko,

Thanks for posting! You're correct in that it does look as though this is a problem caused by the runtime resolver. I'd really like to have a look at your sample solution if you can make it available.

My knowledge of spring is very limited, but is it possible for you to supply your own path to the assembly you want to resolve inside your app domain? If so, you may be able to pick up the path of the correct assembly by pulling it out of the current application domain. There's an example of this in the troubleshooting test issues area of the wiki.

Cheers,

Remco

How can I make the solution aviable, I don't find a function for attachments
