MS Test: Getting executing testlocation?

Question

How do I find the equivalent of a path to the executing assembly when running tests under MS Test in VS 2010? I need to know where the test is running from, so that I can set a relative path to a data file that it needs.

I am trying to find the same sort of path to an executing test that I would get if I used System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location on an executing assembly. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You can use TestContext.DeploymentDirectory to get the test deployment directory. The test configuration allows you to automatically deploy files for tests.

Answer 2

This question is not specific to MsTest. You can use the same solution you would use in any other .NET application.

An answer from a similar question:

string directory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

Answer 3

Just get the assembly for the current test.
