About
This simple project reproduces a strange Nunit-related exception that occurs when referencing Atata.Configuration.Json nuget package in a Atata-testing project built to use Xunit instead of Nunit.
At line 23 of the SimpleUiTestsFixture class, this exception (with an error message referencing Nunit) occurs even though there are no Nunit nuget packages installed:
An exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in System.Private.CoreLib.dll but was not handled in user code. Could not load file or assembly 'nunit.framework, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.
Debug the SampleTests.SampleTest test method to reproduce the error.
NOTE: If VS doesn't break on the exception, ensure that breaking on the FileNotFoundException is enabled under Debug -> Exception Settings (go the Debug menu, Windows -> Exception Settings, then hit CTRL+E and enter 'FileNotFoundException' to filter for its specific checkbox setting).
