Remove dependency on Rhino.Mocks

[dirkrombauts]

Hi,

Are there any plans to release a new version of Shoudly, where the dependency to Rhino.Mocks is removed? According to semver, this new version should be called 2.0.0 :-)

Hi Dirk,

The dependency to Rhino was deprecated some time ago, meaning unless you actually use Shouldly's ShouldHaveBeenCalled method, you won't need to deploy the Rhino.Mocks assembly. It was removed from the NuGet package at the same time.

Are you having a specific issue with the current version?

Thanks,
Xerx

Hi Xerx,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I do have a specific issue with the current version. I'm trying to run our tests using mstest.exe from the command line (rather than from within visual studio) and mstest complains (writes a warning) about not finding Rhino.Mocks - even though I don't use the Rhino-related methods.

I'm more than happy to remove Rhino as a dependency completely. The deprecation has been in there for a while so i'm not afraid that anyone would be crippled by the change to the API.

Going through the existing issues list, there are a number of things i'd like to introduce/fix before I throw around the v2 moniker. Admittedly things have been pretty quiet here as I've not had the need to extend or fix Shouldly in some time, but if not for the sake of marking v2 then i'm happy to do them.

The only problem is that this change might not come anytime soon (ie: could be a few weeks while i do it piecemeal on the side). I'm happy to make a pre-release version available to you, if it can't wait that long?

Thanks, a pre-release version would be cool!

Hi Dirk,

I've created an unversioned build of Shouldly sans Rhino Mocks. It worked in my quick test of MSTest - i'd appreciate if you could run it against your build and let me know if that solves your problem?

You should be able to just drop these files ontop of your existing Shouldly.dll/pdb files, compile and test.

Cheers!

Thanks for the prerelease version! Yes, that works - MSTest is happy now :-)
