I'm trying to write a unit test project using FSUnit.xUnit.
Throughout my development on this process, I have been plagued by tests failing with this message (not always citing the same version):
Could not load file or assembly 'FSharp.Core, Version=3.259.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Adding binding redirects seems to have no effect. My latest one is:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="FSharp.Core" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.4.0.0" newVersion="4.4.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</runtime>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6" />
</startup>
</configuration>
The only thing that has worked up until now is downgrading the FSharp.Core NuGet package, but in this latest incarnation even this has failed.
I am losing a lot of time over this issue. Any help will be very gratefully received.
UPDATE
From what I can make out, this is due to a bug in Json.NET. The tests are running, but the error is being thrown within the assembly while I am serialising and deserialising discriminated unions. I have submitted an issue in Json.NET.
FURTHER UPDATE
I am calling the Json.NET serialiser from a test project targeting F# Version 4.4.0.0, and the object I'm trying to serialise is defined in a portable assembly with Profile259 (portable-net45+netcore45+wpa81+wp8). The portable assembly contains the same binding redirects.
