Silverlight UnitTesting does not call TestInitialize

Question

I am using (or trying) to perform unittesting Silverlight.

everything looks good, but the methods associated with the [TestInitialize] attribute are not called before [TestMethod] . Does anyone know a workaround?

here is an example where the BeforeAnyTest method is never called:

  [TestClass] public class TViewModel { protected MockRepository MockRepository { get; set; } /// <summary> /// This is strangely not called automatically before any test /// </summary> [TestInitialize] protected void BeforeAnyTest() { MockRepository = new MockRepository(); } [TestMethod] public void TServerStartupViewModelCtor() { //BeforeAnyTest(); var smsa = MockRepository.StrictMock<IServerManagementServiceAgent>(); ServerStartupViewModel ssvm = new ServerStartupViewModel(smsa); Assert.IsNotNull(ssvm); } } 

Answer 1

Try defining it as public instead of protected .:

 [TestInitialize] public void BeforeAnyTest() { MockRepository = new MockRepository(); }
