Cannot create HttpServer from a test run by ReSharper

Hello,

when I try to run mspec test via ReSharper which executes this code:

new HttpServer();

I get the exception below. If I copy ReSharper dlls to the test folder (bin\Release) - everything works as expected. What would be the reason of the exception?

Thanks!

Re: Cannot create HttpServer from a test run by ReSharper

This seems like something related to ReSharper, not Web API. You should try contacting JetBrains on their support forums.

Why do you think it's ReSharper's issue? After all it's Web API that tries to do something on ReSharper's dlls. Just trying to understand.

Not sure how ReSharper's test runner works but it looks like it's copying some binaries into your application's bin folder. Web API searches all bin assemblies for ApiController classes, and it looks like whatever got copied by ReSharper is unable to load some other DLL. You should look at your test project and verify the purpose of the JetBrains.ReSharper.Psi assembly.
