I've built a small WCF service that I'm trying to build unit tests for. I've deployed this service with a database locally and the service works and can save and read data from the database. I created a separate project within the same solution as a Console Application with a service reference to consume this service. 

Here is what the code looks like: 

Service Contract

```
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IUserService
    {
        //When testing in the browser use verb GET
        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method="POST", UriTemplate = "/CreateNewUserAccount?userNameValue={userName})]
        void CreateNewUserAccount(string userName);
    }

```

Service Implementation:

```
    public void CreateNewUserAccount(string userName)
    {
        var userContorller = new UserController();
        userContorller.addNewUser(userName);
    }

```

Console Client with service reference:

```
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                UserServiceClient serviceClient = new UserServiceClient("");
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }

            Console.ReadKey();
        }

```

Here is a sample of how I call the service in the browser:
<http://localhost:8654/Services/UserService/UserService.svc/CreateNewUserAccount?userNameValue=testUser>

I've confirmed that this works when I run the service locally. Now the exception I'm receiving from the console client is:

> 
> Could not find endpoint element with name '' and contract 'SerficeReference.IUserService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section.
> 
> 
> 

It looks like I'm missing endpoints and nothing was generated in the app.config when I linked the service reference. I've tried numerous configurations in the app.config but I can't seem to get this straight. The exception occurs when I try to instantiate the service client in the console app. My app.config looks like this:

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />
    </startup>
</configuration>

```

Any help would be appreciated.
