Resharper runs UnitTest from different location

Roar picture Roar · Apr 26, 2013 · Viewed 20.7k times · Source

When I run unit tests with Visual Studio it works fine, because it runs from project directory where all assemblies are. But when I run it with resharper it goes with error on

var services = Assembly.Load("SomeAssembly");

with error

Could not load file or assembly 'SomeAssembly' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified..

So i've tried

var path = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

and it's not project one. It's

C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Local\Temp\TestResults\...\Out\

and there is no 'SomeAssembly'. How do I configure resharper correctly or collect all assemblies like Visual Studio does?

It happens with unit tests but not with NUnit, any ideas?

Resharper shadow copies assemblies for testing by default. If you turn off shadow-copy, it will run in the bin folder and the test should pass. Here are some instructions on turning it off.
