Gallio error “An exception was thrown while exploring tests.”

Question

Hi I have a test project with Gallio 3.2 b.435 within VisualStudio 2010. Every time I launch any test the output windows pops out.

this is the error message

[error] An exception was thrown while exploring tests.
Location: C:\xxxxxxx(73)
Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
   at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)

this is the code at the line specified

71: [Test, ExpectedException(typeof(RulesException<Story>))]
72: public void CanNotSaveItemIfInvalid()
73: {
74:     var story= new Story{ Id = 100, Tilte= "test" };
75:      repository.Save(story, new MembershipUser());
76: }

This error isthrown no metter what test is under testing (the project contains 700 test) Of course ;) the test compiles and passes and I cannot understand the error.

bye Stefano

This error is a known issue. It's due to a bug in the early version of Mono.Cecil (v0.6) that was used by the Gallio core engine. It has been fixed recently: Gallio is now using Mono.Cecil v0.9.

Please try out the latest version of Gallio (v3.2.2)
