如何防止在单元测试结果“out”文件夹中生成pdb文件？

Question

When I run unit tests via mstest.exe, the test results folder contains .pdb files. These files are not supposed to be there as they interfere with the automated build system. Is there any way to prevent those files from being generated?

Answer 1

Running unit tests doesn't produce .pdb files. Compiling the tests does. Check your build settings. It is the /pdb argument to the compiler, in case you are not using msbuild.

One exception, you could get .pdbs if you are unit-testing code that uses System.CodeDom. In which case checking that you get the .pdbs ought to be part of the test.
