How to add SQL database to the app.config file?

881 views Asked by At

I'm trying to make unit tests for my MVC application his controller that contains a database. I've found some things that people say to fix it but they all cause errors and I have no clue how to configure my database correctly in the app.config file of my unit tests. Here's my appconfig file till now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- 
    Note: Add entries to the App.config file for configuration settings
    that apply only to the Test project.
-->

The current exception I'm getting is: System.Data.Entity.Internal.AppConfig (sadly there's no real stacktrace) and the old exception I was getting was:

No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient'. Make sure the provider is registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config file.

There's progress I guess, but I have no clue how to fix this. Any help on this would be very much appreciated

In your app.config try to replace this line:

<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">

with this line:

<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
