  1. POWhy am I getting a FileNotFound exception when referencing another project from the same solution?
    text
    copied!<p>I am learning how to use NUnit. I have my main project in it's solution, and created a separate project in that same solution which will hold my unit tests, with it's own namespace. From that project I add a reference to the main project and add a </p> <pre><code>using MainProjectNamespace; </code></pre> <p>to the top of it.</p> <p>When I go to NUnit, any tests I have that don't reference the main project work. These are tests I setup just to get used to NUnit, and are pretty much useless. When NUnit runs the real tests the test throws this exception:</p> <blockquote> <p>TestLibrary.Test.TestMainProject: System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'WpfApplication2, Version = 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the specified file.</p> </blockquote> <p>Why am I getting this exception?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Now when I try to load the assembly into NUnit, it won't even load (so I can't even get a chance to run the tests)</p> <p>This is the Exception that come sup, and the stack trace:</p> <p>System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'LONG PATH HERE I DON'T WANT TO TYPE'</p> <pre><code>System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException...

And it loaded! 1 of the 3 namespace-specific tests worked. Getting somewhere, I am.</p> <p>EDIT4: Welllllllll... I can actually run the tests now, but I am back to the original error. IT is not finding the assembly for the main project </p>
