Forty Six and Two: FsCheck 0.8.3 and FsCheck.Xunit 0.3

26 August 2012

FsCheck 0.8.3 and FsCheck.Xunit 0.3

I’ve just uploaded new NuGet packages for FsCheck and FsCheck.Xunit.

The changes are minor:

FsCheck.Xunit now works with instance methods. NCrunch, for example, reportedly only works with instance methods, so this means you can now use NCrunch for running FsCheck properties.
Both NuGet packages now call Add-BindingRedirect on install. This will generate an app.config file in your test project if necessary, to spell out to the .NET loader that tests compiled with F#3.0 and so in all likelihood using FSharp.Core 4.3 should indeed use 4.3 instead of the older 4.0, which FsCheck is compiled with.
Added symbols on symbolsource.org.

Note that running “Add-BindingRedirect <project name>” in the NuGet package manager console should resolve any problems you may have running FsCheck in VS2012. Also, since xunit is strongly signed, there are similar problems with FsCheck.Xunit – Add-BindingRedirect solves that one too.

If you’re not into NuGet, add the following lines to your app.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="FSharp.Core" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.3.0.0" newVersion="4.3.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>
