  • This is not an “ABP Studio vs. CLI” problem by itself. What’s happening is: when you run tests inside ABP Studio, it sets up some environment / working-directory / configuration in a way that your test host can initialize successfully; but when you run from terminal / VS / Rider, the test host starts with different defaults and your ABP app initialization fails with:

    Volo.Abp.AbpInitializationException ... OnApplicationInitializationModuleLifecycleContributor ...

    Instances cannot be resolved and nested lifetimes cannot be created from this lifetimeScope ...

    (mentions Volo.Abp.LowCode.AbpLowCodeDomainModule)

  Solution

  1) Run your tests from the “root” EFCore test project (not Domain/Application abstract tests)

  ABP templates use abstract tests in .Domain.Tests / .Application.Tests and concrete implementations in .EntityFrameworkCore.Tests (or .MongoDB.Tests). If you execute the abstract test projects directly (common in Rider/VS “Run all tests”), initialization can differ and you may hit DI/runtime issues.

  Run tests specifically from:

  • *.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests (and/or *.Web.Tests if you have it)

  In CLI:

  dotnet test test/Nicma.Idp.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests/Nicma.Idp.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests.csproj
  

  2) Disable UoW transactions and dynamic permission/feature stores for test host

  The failure you show is during module initialization and often occurs in integration test environments due to transactional/UoW behavior + initialization-time DB operations (feature/permission caches, etc.). Configure your EF Core test module to disable those behaviors.

  In your NicmaIdpEntityFrameworkCoreTestModule (or equivalent EFCore test module class), add:

  using Volo.Abp.FeatureManagement;
  using Volo.Abp.PermissionManagement;
  using Volo.Abp.Uow;
  using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
  
  public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
  {
      Configure<FeatureManagementOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.SaveStaticFeaturesToDatabase = false;
          options.IsDynamicFeatureStoreEnabled = false;
      });
  
      Configure<PermissionManagementOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.SaveStaticPermissionsToDatabase = false;
          options.IsDynamicPermissionStoreEnabled = false;
      });
  
      context.Services.AddAlwaysDisableUnitOfWorkTransaction();
  
      Configure<AbpUnitOfWorkDefaultOptions>(options =>
      {
          options.TransactionBehavior = UnitOfWorkTransactionBehavior.Disabled;
      });
  }
  

  This makes the test host much more deterministic across runners (CLI/VS/Rider/Studio).

  3) Ensure the test runner uses the correct environment/appsettings

  Also make sure your test project has the expected environment (many templates assume ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Test and load appsettings.Test.json or similar). In terminal you can force it:

  PowerShell

  $env:ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT="Test"
  dotnet test
  

  bash

  ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Test dotnet test
  

  (ABP Studio may already be doing this for you.)

  I run the "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Test dotnet test" command in the solution root but i've the same errors.

  If i run every test as a single unit test in riders they works, but if i run the entire collections, the first one pass and the others no!
