Xamarin Studio Profile for Moq and Mvvmcross.Test

Trying to follow the instructions for the test pcl from https://mvvmcross.com/docs/testing

For a basic .Net 4.5 test setup for, for example, a ViewModel, you can:
create a .Net 4.5 library project
use Nuget to add references to NUnit and to Moq
use Nuget or a local binary folder to add references to all of:
MvvmCross.Core
MvvmCross
MvvmCross.Tests

Moq does not install -> Could not install package 'Moq 4.2.1510.2205'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wpa81+wp80+MonoTouch10+MonoAndroid10+xamarinmac20+xamarintvos10+xamarinwatchos10+xamarinios10'

MvvmCross.Tests does not install ->Could not install package 'MvvmCross.Tests 4.1.4'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wpa81+wp80+MonoTouch10+MonoAndroid10+xamarinmac20+xamarintvos10+xamarinwatchos10+xamarinios10', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I have tried different profile 78, 259, 158. They all have this same error.

Thoughts?

Edit in Xamarin Studio I created a Class project

However I'm still getting the following errors:

Could not install package 'Moq 4.2.1510.2205'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Another edit

Also tried the Unit Test App that includes nunitlite, but having the same problem.

Xamarin Studio Unit Test App

Solution

  • The Moq NuGet package only contains assemblies for .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0.

    The MvvmCross.Tests NuGet package only contains assemblies for .NET 4.5.

    So neither of the above NuGet packages can be installed into a PCL project, nor into any Xamarin project.

    These two NuGet packages are meant to be installed into a NUnit Library project, in the category Other - .NET, that Xamarin Studio provides and used for testing. The NUnit Library project will target .NET 4.5 and include the NUnit NuGet package for testing.
