I had similar problems that lasted even after opening the ISession as stated above, and adding "Pooling=True;Max Pool Size=1" to my connection string. It helped, but I still had some cases where the connection would close during a test (usually right after committing a transaction).

What finally worked for me was setting the property "connection.release_mode" to "on_close" in my SessionFactory configuration.

My configuration in the app.config file now look likes this:

  
    
    
      testSqlLiteDB
      NHibernate.Driver.SQLite20Driver
      NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider
      on_close
      NHibernate.Dialect.SQLiteDialect
      NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle
      true=1;false=0
    
  

Hope it helps!
