I have UnitTests.dllone to which belongs Common.dll(both built using VS2015).
I have the following directory structure:
C:\Test\
- UnitTests.dll
- UnitTests.runsettings
C:\Bin\
- Common.dll
UnitTests.runsettings the content is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
<RunConfiguration>
<TargetPlatform>x64</TargetPlatform>
</RunConfiguration>
<MSTest>
<MapInconclusiveToFailed>True</MapInconclusiveToFailed>
<CaptureTraceOutput>False</CaptureTraceOutput>
<DeleteDeploymentDirectoryAfterTestRunIsComplete>False</DeleteDeploymentDirectoryAfterTestRunIsComplete>
<DeploymentEnabled>False</DeploymentEnabled>
<AssemblyResolution>
<Directory Path="C:\Bin\" includeSubDirectories="true" />
</AssemblyResolution>
</MSTest>
</RunSettings>
I call tests:
C:\Test> vstest.console.exe UnitTests.dll /settings:UnitTests.runsettings /inIsolation
vstest.console.exe refers to C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 \ Common7 \ IDE \ CommonExtensions \ Microsoft \ TestWindow \ vstest.console.exe.
I get the following error:
Starting test execution, please wait...

Am I facing some kind of caching issue? How to convince to vstest.console.exelook for dependencies inside C:\Bin\(as theoretically indicated by the element AssemblyResolution)?

Presented as an error for MSFT when connecting
(with a playback step - under the DETAILS tab at the bottom).
