In my 'nunit' project created in Visual Studio, I have a simple test but no default 'App.config' file. Therefore, I manually created an 'App.config' file and marked it 'Copy always' from the properties option.
When trying to read values from the config file using 'ConfigurationManager.AppSettings' and 'system.configuration.configurationmanager.AppSettings', I am receiving empty values (null).
Please find below the code snippet:
// Code snippet goes here The content of the config file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<ApplicationSettings>
<add key="name" value="Configuration Example Project"/>
</ApplicationSettings>
</configuration>Project Configuration Details:
- .Net Framework: Microsoft.NET Framework version 4.7.0
- OS: Windows 10
- IDE: Visual Studio 2019
- Using NUnit framework for unit testing
- NUnit3TestAdapter (Version) 3.17.0
- Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk (Version) 16.5.0
- System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager (Version) 4.7.0
- Selenium.Support (Version) 3.141.0
Note: Although I tried adding the reference 'system.configuration' by right-clicking on the Dependency option within Visual Studio, the 'Type Libraries' does not display the 'system.configuration' option.
