Moq throws a TypeInitializationException when using Moles with the [HostType("Moles")]. Code example and exception below. 


    [TestMethod]
    [HostType("Moles")]
    public void TestMethod()
    {
        var mock = new Mock<IAnything>();
    }

The exception:

<pre>
System.TypeInitializationException occurred
  Message=The type initializer for 'Moq.Extensions' threw an exception.
  Source=Moq
  TypeName=Moq.Extensions
  StackTrace:
       at Moq.Extensions.IsMockeable(Type typeToMock)
       at Moq.Mock`1.CheckParameters()

       at Moq.Mock`1..ctor(MockBehavior behavior)
       at Moq.Mock`1..ctor()

       StackTrace:

The link below suggested it might be a moq version issue, but it happens in both version 3.1 and 4.0 for me.

I'm using VS 2010 Premium SP1. Anybody had any luck resolving this?

Looking at your code, you probably haven't indented below line properly:

System.TypeInitializationException occurred

You need to indent your code by four spaces, or select it all and press the {} button. Also make sure there is one blank line between your last line of text and your first line of code. This will cause your code to be rendered in <pre><code> blocks and all of its HTML/Markdown entities will be escape/ignored respectively.

Properly indented code renders like this:

#include <iostrea>

int main() {
  vector<int> items;
}

Unindented code renders like this:

include

int main() { vector items; }

You can see why we stress proper indenting of code.
