.net – NUnit 3.2.1 + TeamCity: Could not load file or assembly ‘nunit.framework’ – Stack Overflow

21 down vote I had the same problem with TeamCity 10.0.1 (build 42078) and NUnit 3.4.1. And it turned out to be completely my fault. I’m posting it here as someone else can stumble into the same problem and this can save them some time. It turned out that the problem was in the “Run tests from: ” setting in my build configuration. I had **\*.Test.dll. That was accidentally picking up dlls for \obj\**\ directories (where there is no nunit.framework.dll present). Once I changed the setting to **\bin\%Bui

A simple and elegant yet powerful HTTP client cache for .NET

Cashew

Cashew is a .NET library for caching responses easily with an HttpClient through an API that is simple and elegant yet powerful. There’s support out of the box for the awesome CacheManager via the Cashew.Adapters.CacheManager package. Its aim is to focus on the HTTP part of caching and not worrying about how stuff is stored, meaning no half-arsed cache implementations!

Cashew targets .NET 4.5 and .NET Standard 1.1 (.NET Core, Mono, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, UWP and more) meaning it can be used on all sorts of devices.

Visual Studio Window Title Changer Extension

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IstvanPasztor.VisualStudioWindowTitleChanger

Changes the Visual Studio Window Title by evaluating a user defined expression. Extremely helpful when working with multiple branches of the same project.

Script I use to see current branch in TFS (path) or GIT (git branch) in title:

if( sln_open ) {
if (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir) {
//GIT
sln_filename + (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir ? " - git["+git_branch+"]" + " - Visual Studio 2015")
} 
else 
{ 
//TFS or Standard project
sln_filename + " - (" + sln_dir +")" + " - " + "Visual Studio 2015"
} 
}
else {
//No solution open
"Visual Studio 2015"
}

if( sln_open ) {

if (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir) {

//GIT

sln_filename + (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir ? " - git["+git_branch+"]" + " - Visual Studio 2015")

}

else

{

//TFS or Standard project

sln_filename + " - (" + sln_dir +")" + " - " + "Visual Studio 2015"

}

else {

//No solution open

"Visual Studio 2015"

}
