vs2012中的DeploymentItem不复制文件

Question

I want to add a deployment item to my test.

My solution structure looks like:

MySolution\
-- TestData\
  --addresses.xml
-- ProjectName.TestProject\
  --Internal\
    --MyTestClass.cs 

I've tried to add the file with the following attribute:

[DeploymentItem(@"TestData\addresses.xml", " TestData")]

…what does not work But if I specify the absuluten file path, vs will copy the file.

[DeploymentItem(@"C:\Dir1\Dir2\TestData\addresses.xml", " TestData")]

Answer 1

Current folder for DeploymentItemAttribute defaults to output bin folder. So you have to specify first parameter relative to that bin folder:

[DeploymentItem(@"..\..\..\TestData\addresses.xml", " TestData")]
