Result StackTrace

This error occurred to me when I tried to test a SharePoint emulator with a test project. I tried in many ways and it was a simple code; but I wonder why it was giving this error. I put the DLLs to bin and did various things, but nothing worked for me. Then what I did was:

First, uninstall the existing emulator from the project (by navigating to NuGet Manger).
Then change the Test Project Framework to 3.5 and reinstall the Sharepoint.Emulator using NuGet manager.

Then it worked.

Note: After installing Sharepoint.Emulator in 3.5, I changed the framework to 4.0 again. and the project still works.
