I have some methods in the code base that rely on Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke... to make sure things run on the GUI thread. I am currently trying to write unit tests for these methods but (as expected) Application.Current is null so I'm getting a NullReferenceException.

I tried to run the affected tests in their own AppDomain as suggested here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/786d5c06-0511-41c0-a6a2-5c4e44f8ffb6/

But Application.Current is still null when I do that. Shouldn't starting up an AppDomain set the Application.Current for me? Why is it still null?

My code: The base class:

[TestClass()]
[Serializable]
public class UnitTest
{
    protected void ExecuteInSeparateAppDomain(string methodName)
    {
        AppDomainSetup appDomainSetup = new AppDomainSetup();
        appDomainSetup.ApplicationBase = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
        AppDomain appDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(methodName, null, appDomainSetup);

        try
        {
            appDomain.UnhandledException += delegate(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
            {
                throw e.ExceptionObject as Exception;
            };

            UnitTest unitTest = appDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(GetType().Assembly.GetName().Name, GetType().FullName) as UnitTest;

            MethodInfo methodInfo = unitTest.GetType().GetMethod(methodName, BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

            if (methodInfo == null)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException(string.Format("Method '{0}' not found on type '{1}'.", methodName, unitTest.GetType().FullName));
            }

            try
            {
                methodInfo.Invoke(unitTest, null);
            }
            catch (System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException e)
            {
