Hello,
I'll see if I can find the time to create a project from scratch.
Until then, here a the full, buildable test file :
Code:
using NSubstitute;
namespace Namespace;
public class ExtensionsTest
{
    [Test]
    public void Test()
    {
        var exception  = Substitute.For<Exception>();
        exception.GetBaseException().Returns(exception);  //<--- Exception here
        Assert.That(exception.GetBaseException(), Is.EqualTo(exception));
    }
}
 The full stacktrace :
Quote:NSubstitute.Exceptions.CouldNotSetReturnDueToTypeMismatchException : Can not return value of type ExceptionProxy for Exception.get_StackTrace (expected type String).
Make sure you called Returns() after calling your substitute (for example: mySub.SomeMethod().Returns(value)),
and that you are not configuring other substitutes within Returns() (for example, avoid this: mySub.SomeMethod().Returns(ConfigOtherSub())).
If you substituted for a class rather than an interface, check that the call to your substitute was on a virtual/abstract member.
Return values cannot be configured for non-virtual/non-abstract members.
Correct use:
	mySub.SomeMethod().Returns(returnValue);
Potentially problematic use:
	mySub.SomeMethod().Returns(ConfigOtherSub());
Instead try:
	var returnValue = ConfigOtherSub();
	mySub.SomeMethod().Returns(returnValue);

 Note that we are not using StackTrace, though the exception is mentioning it.
I tried disabling/enabling RDI, restarting the VS, it is always the same exception on get_StackTrace
