Object reference not set to an instance of an object When calling a function with Attribute From Test Project

[Krummris]

I have a package that execute some code when i add the Attribute to a function, it work normally when i execute the project normally, but in the tests i am getting the error:

Outcome: Failed
Error Message:
System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

My class in the package

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using ArxOne.MrAdvice.Advice;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace MyProject.DataAnnotations;

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = false)]
public class ExecuteBeforeAttribute(string? description = null) : Attribute, IMethodAsyncAdvice
{
    public string? Description { get; set; } = description;

    public async Task Advise(MethodAsyncAdviceContext context)
    {

        //Execute my operations
        await context.ProceedAsync();
        
    }

}

Could you try

    public /* NOT async */ Task Advise(MethodAsyncAdviceContext context)
    {
        //Execute my operations
        return context.ProceedAsync();
    }

instead?

First of all, thanks for answering.

I changed the function, it still works normally when i run the app, but when my class with the attribute is called from the tests thats the error im getting

Sorry, I didn’t notice that it was specific to a test environment.
Did you try to debug to see what’s null?

[kalebakeits]

Are you including MrAdvice as a Package Reference in your test project too? And any static setup that may be performed on the Aspect is also being done in the test?

These are the 2 issues I encountered when testing and fixing these fixed all my testing issues
