Illegal characters in path exception

[crisfervil]

Trying to use Fake-Xrm-Easy inside node.js, using edge.js, and calling the method GetOrganizationService in the XrmFakedContext, I'm getting the following exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'FakeItEasy.Core.FakeScope' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

The Javascript code that I'm trying to run is the following:

var edge = require('edge');

var helloWorld = edge.func({source:function () {/*
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    public class Startup
    {
        public async Task<object> Invoke(object input)
        {
		var x = new FakeXrmEasy.XrmFakedContext();
		
		try{
			var y = x.GetOrganizationService(); 
		}
		catch(System.Exception ex){
			System.Console.WriteLine(ex);
			throw ex;
		}
		return null;
        }
    }
*/},

helloWorld('JavaScript', function (error, result) {
    if (error) throw error;
    console.log(result);
});

Attached example:
FakeXrmEasyTest.zip

In order to run the example, download, unblock and unzip the attached file.

In a console, cd into the extracted dir and type

npm install

then

node test

You should see the above error message.

Any ideas about what can be causing this?

Thanks

Hi Cris!

After banging my head on the wall for many hours.... it turns out this issue is related to the node version used by edge.

Running with node 6.x fails whereas with 0.10.33 does work.

0.10.33 is really old but should be enough for unit testing stuff. If you want to have many concurrent versions of node in your laptop, try nvm.

What I did was:

nvm install 0.10.33
nvm use 0.10.33

Reopen visual studio and rerun the test. And then it should work fine.

Will close this now but please reopen it if you still have issues! ;)

Hey Cris,

I've got this working for other Node versions (i.e. 6.4.0) by patching FakeItEasy to not search assemblies with Invalid chars in path (turns out the edge native assembly had one...)

So you can get version 3.2.0 and patch it, or you'll find the patch already built here
