Xunit The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data

Question

I keep getting this error while using xunit for .NET 1.0 framework net46.

The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data

I have seen this post: Collection fixture won't inject and followed the instructions regarding collection fixture closely as described here:

http://xunit.github.io/docs/shared-context.html#collection-fixture

Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions to what might cause this?

Answer 1

In my case it turned out to be a matter of doing it right according to the instructions. By mistake I had annotated the class with

 [Collection("ProjectCollection")]

instead of:

 [Collection("ActorProjectCollection")]

I must say that the dependency injection mechanism of XUnit would be greatly improved if the error messages gave more explicit hint of what is wrong.
