Get project folder path from a Test Project

What project type?  For winforms I use

System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath

in just about every project I have and it returns the /debug folder.

"Test Project"  as it says ;)

I guess that shoudl have been obvious ;)
Bad habits I get into often making simple test projects out of other types.

In any case, using reflection and getting the executing assembly should work for you:

string startupPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

It does not work,, still the TestResults folder is included.

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase

"file:///C:/WS/MyProject/Release/Rel-v1.0/Source/MyProject/TestResults/xxxxxx_2011-09-12 15_52_07/Out/MyProject.DLL"      

Thx, works perfect!

But what is the Deployment thing for?

why I need to get that path is I'm storing some xml files that I use for testing in my test project folder, and I do not want to hard code in the path.

But maybe there is another good way to do this?

This works really well. If I do what Dan7el says.

Found this.

"If you deploy your tests to a separate folder, you can continue to build your solution while your tests are running."
Don't know if this is anything to care about, when you have projects that takes 1-5 min to build?

But maybe there is a better way to move my xml files to a specifc folder for testing. So I don't need to turn off the Deployment.

Now I like to move it from
c:\projects\myapplication\MyTests\-= Test Data =-
to
c:\Unittesting\XmlData\

Any better way to do this?

public static string AssemblyDirectory
{
    get
    {
        string codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
        UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
        string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path); 
                
        return Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
    }
}

Select allOpen in new window

Well, I don't know if you want to run though all that code each time you access the property.

I would do:

private static string assemblyDirectory = string.Empty;

public static string AssemblyDirectory
{
    get
    {
       if ( string.IsNullOrEmpty( assemblyDirectory ) )
        {
        string codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
        UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
        string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);
               
        assemblyDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
       }
       return assemblyDirectory;
    }
}

Otherwise, really you can do this whatever you feel is best.  

Thx guys! :)
