How to fix "The active test run was aborted. Reason: Test host process crashed" when debugging unit tests for ASPNET Zero project

Question

When I "Run" a unit test, it works fine. When I "Debug", the test run always aborts, and I always see this in the Output window:

========== Starting test run ==========
[xUnit.net 00:00:00.00] xUnit.net VSTest Adapter v2.8.2+699d445a1a (64-bit .NET 8.0.8)
[xUnit.net 00:00:00.25]   Starting:    MyProject.Tests
The active test run was aborted. Reason: Test host process crashed
========== Test run aborted: 0 Tests (0 Passed, 0 Failed, 0 Skipped) run in < 1 ms ==========

I'd just like to be able to debug unit tests.

Answer 1

The problem for me stemmed from not having the AbpZeroLicenseCode configuration item available. I had it in user secrets, but the secrets weren't being picked up.
