More NUnit problems.

[Frank Rizzo]

Here is the situation. I have a DLL that implements needed
functionality. I'll refer to it as Business.dll. It depends on an XML
(it contains config info) file being in the same directory as the DLL.

I then wrote some unit tests for the Business DLL in another DLL (in
another project). I'll refer to this DLL as Test.dll.

So I run Test.dll through NUnit. For reasons I can't understand, the
Business.dll is copied to a temp folder. Obviously the accompanying XML
file is not copied there, so the test always fails.

How can I force the NUnit to execute the test in place, not in some temp
folder?

Thanks.

Frank,

Did you read my reply to your previous post about the same problem?

In short, if you use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory from your
business.dll to retrieve the path to the accompanying XML you should be OK.

Don't know how to force NUnit not to perform shadow copying and I wouldn't
do that. This is just how NUnit works, embrace it.

HTH,
Alexander

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory did the trick. Thank you.
