ReSharper Unit Test not run in bin directory

Question

Preamble

I know, that this question seems to have anwsers here:

• Resharper runs UnitTest from different location
• Resharper Unit Test Runner Can't Find Content Files

I have nearly the same problem like ReSharper 10 test runner failing to find AppSettings referenced from external file. But these answer stated, that the problem should be gone with ReSharper 10.0.2

Question

I included a custom.xml files with custom settings, and I need to read them from my unit test. But my file is not found.

I looked, where the process runs, and included this line

var curdir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

So I found out, that curdir is C:\\Users\\MYUSER\\AppData\\Local\\JetBrains\\Installations\\ReSharperPlatformVs11_000

Now it is obvious that my file cannot be found. After googling it, it found the above mentioned questions. But none of these solutions works for me.

These are my settings:

Solution 1

You don't list any version of NUnit installed, but you tagged this 'nunit' so I'm going to make an assumption you are using it! Further, I'm assuming NUnit >= 3.0... ignore this if otherwise. :-)

NUnit 3.0 stopped changing current directory. It's a bad idea for us to do that anyway and it's a really bad idea with 3.0, when multiple assemblies in differing directories may be running at the same time.

So, assuming still it's an NUnit problem, instead of using a relative path, use TestContext.CurrentContext.TestDirectory as the location of your file.

Solution 2

try this:

Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);

Solution 3

In my case was fixed when I changed to this setting

Solution 4

The thing that helped me with such issue - I just turned off NUnit 2.x support in ReSharper settings (ReSharper -> Options... -> Tools -> Unit Testing -> NUnit).
