Error when running Unit Tests

[lawrenceshort]

When Running the tests I get a rather annoying error.

System.TypeInitializationException : The type initializer for 'ExtentPlaceholderCreator' threw an exception.
----> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
----> System.EntryPointNotFoundException : Unable to find an entry point named 'SetClrFeatureSwitchMap' in DLL 'SqlServerSpatial110.dll'.

I've managed to sort it by redirecting the Micosoft.SqlServer.Types assembly to version 12.0 or version 10.0 but it does feel like a hack.

  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Types" publicKeyToken="89845dcd8080cc91" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>

Unfortuantely I don't think it's a problem with the project it's an installation of types of sql server issue.

Interesting. I wonder if that's a problem with the setup on your computer or we need to add that into the config file of the project?
