I am writting test cases for a Unity Project. I wanted to create a instance of a Monobehaviour class.

Problem: Null value when I am trying to find game object with the tag.

Code:

[UnityTest]
public IEnumerator DummyTestWithEnumeratorPasses() {
    GameObject  dummyController = GameObject.FindWithTag("dummyControllerTag");
    Debug.Log (dummyController);  // Null always.
    yield return null;
}

Snapshot:

EDIT:

After the comments, here is my new code that matches the tag name:

[UnityTest]
public IEnumerator DummyTestWithEnumeratorPasses() {
    GameObject  CUIController = GameObject.FindWithTag("CUIControllerTag");
    Debug.Log (CUIController);  // Null always.
    yield return null;
}

The most obvious thing would be that there is no GameObject with the tag `dummyControllerTag` in the scene, but I guess you have checked that, right? – Ian H. Dec 12 '17 at 10:16
Do you have any object with the "dummyControllerTag" tag? If so can please add a screenshot of this object to prove it. Also, the find function cannot be used t find in-active objects. Is your object active? – Programmer Dec 12 '17 at 10:17
Have you already instantiated an object with that tag? – Andreas W Dec 12 '17 at 10:18
I have checked the Tag name. Its fine @Ian H – Bhupesh Kumar Dec 12 '17 at 10:21
Added the screenshot. @Programmer – Bhupesh Kumar Dec 12 '17 at 10:24

I voted to close this question as "typographical error" because the name in the tag does not match the name in your code. *"CUIControllerTag"* is **not** the-same as *"dummyControllerTag"* – Programmer Dec 12 '17 at 10:31

So does it still not work? – Ian H. Dec 12 '17 at 10:39
