Problem using class libraries in Unit tests

For a school project I need to use Unit tests in my project, however when I add the unit test project, I can not use the classes from a different class library. I have set up the dependencies, so I dont know what I should do.

show your solution structure and the dependencies for the test lib

I would suggest you structure it like this instead

do you mean in a different solution?

Pobiega•7mo ago

no, same solution in terms of actual file structure on disk, it would be...

.
├── MyProj.sln
├── .gitignore
├── .editorconfig
├── src/
│   ├── MyProj.Administration
│   ├── MyProj.AccessLayer
│   ├── MyProj.LogicLayer
│   └── MyProj.WebPagesLeaderboards
└── tests/
    ├── MyProj.Administration.Tests
    ├── MyProj.AccessLayer.Tests
    ├── MyProj.LogicLayer.Tests
    └── MyProj.WebPagesLeaderboards.Tests

Ok I will try to do this

Pobiega•7mo ago

however, you shouldnt be having the problems you say you are so there is something wrong what .NET version are you using? Is it the same for test project and class libs?

SirTankieOP•7mo ago

i think 8.0

SirTankieOP•7mo ago

but here it says 4.8

SirTankieOP•7mo ago

but when i try to change it, i can not select 8.0

yeah thats your problem .NET Framework isnt the same thing as just .NET you need to delete your test project and create it from scratch with a .NET version, not a framework version I highly recommend using xUnit $newproject

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework. .NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569261465463160900/899381236617855016/unknown.png

SirTankieOP•7mo ago

Pobiega•7mo ago

again, I highly recommend xunit it has the most logical way of working, imho
