This is so not agile.

I have a namespace: EntityFrameworkContrib.PostSharp4EF.Testing.ComplexType and a testclass: ComplexTypeTest.
When I call to EntityFramework it apparently wants to log something and fails because of a 127 category name limit: Instance names used for writing to custom counters must be 127 characters or less.

This is shown in the callstack:

System.dll!System.Diagnostics.SharedPerformanceCounter.SharedPerformanceCounter(string catName, string counterName = "numberofactiveconnectionpoolgroups", string instanceName = "unittestadapterdomain_forg:_dev_efcontrib_entityframeworkcontrib.postsharp4ef_testresults_shrtrun[18]_out_entityframeworkcontrib.postsharp4ef.testing.dll[12116]", System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterInstanceLifetime lifetime = Process) + 0xcc bytes   

You can see I've already made a 'shrtrun' name for the tests, instead of the long generated name. That was suggested on a few forums: the name generated by the testframework is very long and can be shortened. That might help you:

Go to Test/Edit Testrun configuration

However, no way does that help enough on my end.
I believe I read that this was a bug that they would fix in 2008, but it's still there.

Does that mean I should shorten my namespaces? I don't really feel like it, since I believe in clear names. One of the contributors of EFContrib even suggested writing contrib as contribution!

My current workaround is a console application that tests the code that I'm working on, but I need to build out tests now.

Anybody know any real workarounds?
