Hi there, i have installed SpecFlow 2.3.2 and SpecFlow.Assis.Dynamic 1.3.1 and after starting tests I getting exception:

If I downgrading SpecFlow to 2.1.0 everything runs fine. But I cannot use specflow lower than 2.3.2
P.S. VisualStudio version is 15.7.1

Hello @bblrlo - thanks for the comment and issue.

I will try to do something about this soon, but right now I don't have a ready DotNet environment to re-compile this on. That is all that is needed, if I understand it correctly; recompile with an updated version of SpecFlow dlls.

I'll see what I can do soon.
Thanks a bunch for your patience and for using this little tool.

@bblrlo , make sure your runtime binding redirect is correct in app.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="specFlow" type="TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler, TechTalk.SpecFlow" />
  </configSections>
  <specFlow>
    <stepAssemblies>
      <stepAssembly assembly="SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic" />
    </stepAssemblies>
    <unitTestProvider name="MsTest" />
  </specFlow>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="TechTalk.SpecFlow" publicKeyToken="0778194805d6db41" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.3.2.0" newVersion="2.3.2.0" />
