Integration Testing Testing from controller to database Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json is required

[JMMM77]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

10.6.1

Bug summary

When running a "Testing from controller to database" integration test you get an exception due to a missing Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json file, see specifics for more detail.

https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/10.latest-lts/implementation/integration-testing#testing-from-controller-to-database

Specifics

Below is the exception I am getting
Message: 
System.InvalidOperationException : Can't find 'C:\dev\360-Systems\tss-umbraco-360website\Src\360 Website.Tests\bin\Debug\net6.0\Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json'. This file is required for functional tests to run properly. There should be a copy of the file on your source project bin folder. If that is not the case, make sure that the property PreserveCompilationContext is set to true on your project file. E.g 'true'. For functional tests to work they need to either run from the build output folder or the Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json file from your application's output directory must be copied to the folder where the tests are running on. A common cause for this error is having shadow copying enabled when the tests run.

Stack Trace: 
WebApplicationFactory1.EnsureDepsFile() WebApplicationFactory1.EnsureServer()
WebApplicationFactory1.CreateDefaultClient(DelegatingHandler[] handlers) WebApplicationFactory1.CreateDefaultClient(Uri baseAddress, DelegatingHandler[] handlers)
WebApplicationFactory`1.CreateClient(WebApplicationFactoryClientOptions options)
UmbracoTestServerTestBase.Setup()

Steps to reproduce

umbraco.zip

1. Install above solution or create a new project using https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/10.latest-lts/implementation/integration-testing#testing-from-controller-to-database

• Create Project using the nunit template
• Add the Umbraco.Cms.Tests.Integration package
• Create appsettings.Tests.json and set to copy always or create appsettings.Tests.Local.json and set both to copy always
• Create CustomGlobalSetupTeardown class
• Create integration test for "Testing from controller to database"

2. Run tests through visual studio

Expected result / actual result

"Testing a notification" will work but the "Testing from controller to database" will fail with the missing Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json file, see specifics for more detail.

Hi there @JMMM77!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Hey!
Sorry for the late response. I looked at your issue and I was able to reproduce it on versions 10, 11, and 12. I was missing the file
{MyProjectsName}\bin\Debug\net6.0\Umbraco.Tests.Integration.deps.json as well. But I had the file {MyProjectsName}\bin\Debug\net6.0\{MyProjectsName}.deps.json. It seems to be that the package Umbraco.Cms.Tests.Integration is looking for the wrong deps.json file, which is an issue. I will mark this issue as a sprint candidate!
