How to shim HttpWebRequest

Question

I have a problem trying to shim HttpWebRequest. If you just add a fakes assembly of the System assembly it doesn't work instantly. However if you change the fakes file and add the specific namespace it works.

<Fakes xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/fakes/2011/">
  <Assembly Name="System" Version="4.0.0.0"/>
  <ShimGeneration>
    <Clear/>
    <Add FullName="System.Net.WebRequest!"/>
    <Add FullName="System.Net.HttpWebRequest!"/>
    <Add FullName="System.Net.HttpWebResponse!"/>
  </ShimGeneration>
</Fakes>

The problem is that this only works locally. The Automated build on the Team Foundation Server throws an error when trying to resolve ShimHttpWebRequest. It looks like the automated build ignores the fakes file, because when i build it manually with VS on the build server, it works.

Which exception is thrown on the build server? What is the callstack? Which test runner (MSTest or VSTest) is running the tests on the build server? — Oleg Sych, Sep 20 '13 at 20:20
Have you tried adding your Fakes assemblies to the build server? — iGanja, Jan 13 '14 at 22:28

Go to the Assembly reference and add System.Net fake assembly. Double click on System.Net.Fake file and add below entries in System.Net.Fake file

<Fakes xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/fakes/2011/" Diagnostic="true">
<Assembly Name="System" Version="4.0.0.0"/>
<StubGeneration>
  <Clear/>
</StubGeneration>
<ShimGeneration>
   <Clear/>
   <Add FullName="System!"/>
   <Add FullName="System.Net!"/>
   <Add FullName="System.Net.WebRequest!"/>
   <Add FullName="System.Net.HttpWebRequest!"/>
   <Add FullName="System.Net.HttpWebResponse!"/>
 </ShimGeneration>
 </Fakes>
