无法在单元测试中加载文件或程序集'System.Web.Mvc

Question

I have unit tests and inside them I call a method that eventually calls this line:

DataSourceResult response = lstshiftGroup.ToDataSourceResult(request);

Which throws this exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

In my test project I have reference of System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0 and in my project I have the same assembly.

What is wrong with my test?

You need to add reference to Asp.Net MVC to your Unit Test project. You can do this with NuGet. Here is the link to NuGet for MVC. Follow the instructions there to install it into your Unit Test project: https://www.nuget.org/packages/aspnetmvc
