Tests error "A test class may only define a single public constructor"

I started the exercise on my local machine, and all the tests seemed to pass there, but after submiting it to the site, every test failed throwing the same error. A mentor suggested that the fault lies with the tests...

I don't know much about C#, but could the difference be caused by different .NET versions? The test runner uses 5.0.5 (https://github.com/exercism/csharp-test-runner/blob/main/Dockerfile#L13)

cc @exercism/csharp

That may be possible. Do you know what version of .NET you are using?

[CairnsBit]

It is set to .NET 5.0

@CairnsBit If you're using the newer top-level statements then I think this may cause that error.

//cc @ErikSchierboom in case you have any other thoughts

I'm not sure

using System;

static class Appointment
{
    public static DateTime Schedule(string appointmentDateDescription) => DateTime.Parse(appointmentDateDescription);
    public static bool HasPassed(DateTime appointmentDate) => appointmentDate < DateTime.Now ? true : false;
    public static bool IsAfternoonAppointment(DateTime appointmentDate) => appointmentDate.Hour >= 12 & appointmentDate.Hour < 18 ? true : false;
    public static string Description(DateTime date) => $"You have an appointment on {date}.";
    public static DateTime AnniversaryDate() => new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, 9, 15);
}

This is the code for reference, no access modifiers were changed. There weren't any problems until now with other exercises I did.

I know what the issue is and I know how to fix it, I just have to find the time to do so :) It is not the lack of top-level statements or anything. I'll probably be able to fix it this week.

If you're lacking bandwidth and if you could point us in the right direction, we might be able to fix that for you? A quick glance around did not allow me to figure out where the issue lies.

[ErikSchierboom]

Thanks for the offer! I'm quite a ways into solving the issue though, so there's no need. I do really appreciate the offer!

This should now be fixed due to exercism/csharp-test-runner#51
