Unit Testing Framework - An error occurred while parsing entityname

Question

I have created simple MS Unit Test Project. Assert.Equal(true, true). When I want to run a test I receive a error from Resharper and Visual Studio.

"Unit test Runner failed to run tests

System.Xml.XmlException: An Error occured while parsing EnityName. Line 1, position 17."

Do I missing something.

Edit: I can't add screenshot and I can't select text to copy. Ok I will write it the best I can.

To solve this problem you don't need to reinstall Visual Studio or Resharper.

The problem was in a file path to my projects. This would explains why other Unit Test projects were fine because there were in a different location.

I guess this a bug inside Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework. If you have unit test project inside folders with special charts like '&' then Visual Studio will crash or Resharper will return this message.

I wonder where I can report this bug.
