FitSharp is not able to find .DLLs in other folders

Question

I'm getting System.IO.FileNotFoundException trying to test my application. My Folder hierarchy is as follow:

• I have my fitSharp folder with the Runner.exe and the .dll's
• The system under test is in my debug folder
• i have a reference to this .dll with: !path ........\\Debug\\XXXXX.dll

So the problem is, as I'm using Dependecy Injection fitSharp is not able to find the required .dll for unity. I'm getting FileNotFound Exception all the time.

The thing is if i copy all the files (.dll) to my fitSharp folder where the Runner.exe is, the test is working fine.

The problem is, fitsharp is not able to find files in a different folder and i have no idea how to provide this path to fitSharp.

I tried already to use a configuration.xml file to declare all the needed DLLs but still no.

You can try explicitly loading the missing DLL:

!path pathToDll\Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration.dll

or try this entry in the suite configuration file:

<suiteConfig>
    <System.AppDomainSetup>
        <ApplicationBase>pathToSUT</ApplicationBase>
        ...
