The test run is aborted when a .testsettings is used for executing JustMock tests. The .testsettings contains only a description.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TestSettings name="Local" id="15694c75-be1c-4113-9d42-2cbe1013c41c" xmlns="http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010">
<Description>These are default test settings for a local test run.</Description>
</TestSettings>
It seems that the usage of the MSTest element is breaking the execution.
Workaround: As .testsettings are deprecated use .runsettings instead without MSTest element.
My setup includes my local dev environment and so called "grid node" server used by NCrunch.
Yesterday I've updated JustMock to version 2025.2.520.440.
After that update I received an error mentioning my License file not to include Telerik Just Mock.
So I've updated my License file by the way mentioned in the Release Notes.
After that my NCrunch Build crashed with an TypeInitializationException "The type initializer for 'Telerik.JustMock.Core.Licensing.LicenseManager'. String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
I've updated my License file again today and the Exception Message has changed to "String '5/20/2025' was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
I than set my local DateDime format from dd.MM.yyyy to yyyy-MM-dd and the problem is gone.
So it seems like the current version has a problem with our German / European format.
With version 2025.1.211.365 everything worked fine.
So would you please so kind to have a look onto that?
Thank you
With R3 2023 (2023.3.1011.155) JustMock introduces a new functionality that might lead to a huge performance drop and event to unexpected failures. Currently, the issue could be suppressed by setting up an environment variable JUSTMOCK_NEWOBJ_INTERCEPTION_ON_OVERWRITE_ENABLED to 0 (the default value is 1), but a more reliable and independent solution should be found.
if you use the C# using declaration and have JustMock advanced (elevated) mode enabled, the runtime will throw an InvalidProgramException.
Find below the sample code that demonstrates the issue:
public class TestClass : IDisposable
{
public void Dispose()
{
}
}
[TestClass]
public class Fixture
{
public interface ITest { }
[TestMethod]
public async Task Test()
{
ITest mock = Mock.Create<ITest>();
using TestClass test = new();
}
}
Having the simple class
public class MyClass
{
public event Func<EventArgs, Task>? MyEventAsync;
}
and the test that tries to rise the declared event
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
var mockClass = Mock.Create<MyClass>(Behavior.Strict);
mockClass.MyEventAsync += (args) => Task.CompletedTask;
Mock.Raise(() => mockClass.MyEventAsync += null, EventArgs.Empty);
}
Execution triggers the following error:
Telerik.JustMock.Core.MockException : Event signature System.Threading.Tasks.Task OnMyEventAsync(System.EventArgs) is incompatible with argument types (Castle.Proxies.ExternalMockMixinProxy, System.EventArgs)
which is kind of unexpected since the supplied arguments are matching to the event's signature.
Considering the sample class
using Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus;
public class Class2
{
private static ServiceBusSender messageToTopicSender;
private static string topicName;
public static void SetRequestTopicClient(string serviceBusConnectionString, string topName)
{
topicName = topName;
ServiceBusClient serviceBusClient = new ServiceBusClient(serviceBusConnectionString);
messageToTopicSender = serviceBusClient.CreateSender(topicName);
}
}
and the following tests
[TestClass]
public class Class1Test
{
[TestInitialize]
public void SetUp()
{
Mock.Arrange(() => Class2.SetRequestTopicClient("", "")).DoNothing();
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestA()
{
Class2.SetRequestTopicClient("", "");
}
}
[TestClass]
public class Class2Test
{
static ServiceBusClient serviceBusClient = Mock.Create<ServiceBusClient>();
ServiceBusSender messageToTopicSender = Mock.Create<ServiceBusSender>();
[TestInitialize]
public void SetUp()
{
Mock.Arrange(() => new ServiceBusClient("conStr")).Returns(serviceBusClient);
Mock.Arrange(() => serviceBusClient.CreateSender("myTopic")).Returns(messageToTopicSender);
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestB()
{
Class2.SetRequestTopicClient("conStr", "myTopic");
}
}
Executing the tests in order TestA -> TestB results in failed TestB, but changing the order or runining them standalone succeeds.The outcome of the tests should not be dependent of the execution order.
A unit test run against a simple class using EntityFramework never completes, here's the code:
public class DbContext1 : DbContext
{
public DbContext1(string connectionString)
{
}
}
public class Program
{
private static readonly SemaphoreSlim _lock = new SemaphoreSlim(1, 1);
public async Task Run()
{
await _lock.WaitAsync();
try
{
await InsertDbRow();
}
finally
{
_lock.Release();
}
}
private static async Task InsertDbRow()
{
await RetryWrapperAsync(async () =>
{
using DbContext1 dbContext = new DbContext1("con str");
await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
});
}
public static async Task RetryWrapperAsync(Func<Task> operation)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
try
{
await operation();
break;
}
catch (Exception)
{
await Task.Delay(100);
}
};
}
}
[TestClass]
public class ProgramTest
{
private readonly DbContext1 mockContext1 = Mock.Create<DbContext1>();
[TestInitialize]
public void SetUp()
{
Mock.Arrange(() => new DbContext1("con str")).Returns(mockContext1);
}
[TestMethod]
public async Task TestMethod()
{
// Arrange
Program program = new Program();
// Act
await program.Run(); // <-- at this point the test hangs
}
}
Adding do-nothing arrangement on mockContext.SaveChanges fixes the hang, but the expectation is that mock will handle this case by default and there is no need to be explicitly arranged.
Mock.Create<IPool>() fails with
Telerik.JustMock.Core.MockException : Abstract type 'IPool' is not accessible for inheritance.
In Telerik.JustMock.Core.MocksRepository.Create(Type type, MockCreationSettings settings)
In Telerik.JustMock.Mock.<>c__39`1.<Create>b__39_0()
In Telerik.JustMock.Core.ProfilerInterceptor.GuardInternal[T](Func`1 guardedAction)
when trying to create a mock object from
public interface IPool
{
object GetItem(in Struct a, out Class b);
}
Using elevated mocking mode (profiler enabled) with long path names for the test containers (above 260 characters) causes the following command:
dotnet test
to fail with error:
Testhost process exited with error: Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.TestHost.Program.Main(System.String[]) . Please check the diagnostic logs for more information. Test Run Aborted.
There are older releases with a version of 1.0.0.4 for the Telerik.JustMock.Console.exe and with the R3 2022 release, the version is 1.0.0.3.
Referencing the nuget Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore V2.20.0 in the project that is tested leads to the VS 2019 code coverage failing to produce the report. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Create a project from the template ASP.NET Core Web API targeting .NET 5
2. Add a reference to the nuget package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore V2.20.0
3. Create a unit test project from the C# JustMock Test Project (.NET Core) template.
4. Run the VS code coverage.
Expected result: the code coverage report is produced.
Actual result: there is no code coverage report
When a breakpoint is added inside an async test that uses JustMock the debugger is failing to hit it.
To reproduce the issue follow the next steps:
1. Open the attached project
2. Create a breakpoint at the first arrangement in the async test method.
3. Start debugging the async test
Result: the breakpoint is not hit.
The issue is observed for both .NET Core and .NET Framework.
Using the mentioned (or later) product version, the following simple test fails (throws NullReferenceException):
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod()
{
var cultureInfo = Mock.Create<CultureInfo>();
var thisThrowsAnException = cultureInfo.Name;
}
One of the possible workarounds is to create a mock like this:
readonly string cultureName = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.Name;
...
var cultureInfo = Mock.Create(() => new CultureInfo(cultureName));
Using a different version of the NuGet package compared to the locally installed product could cause an unexpected error to occur, see the screenshot below:
The case is reproducible (but might not be limited to) in a dedicated environment including Windows 10, JustMock R3.2021, Visual Studio 2019 and .NET 5. When the profiler is enabled the Visual Studio has problems with the test discovery and reports "Stack overflow" exception. The same applies to building solutions with Azure Function project.

The test passes, but the debug trace output contains the warning message: "Calling one test method from another could result in unexpected behavior and must be avoided. Extract common mocking logic to a non-test method." even there is no call to the other test methods.
