I forget every now and again that VSTS Test runner does not run your shiny test suite in place, it makes a new folder for each test run and....well you know the story.
So this post is really just here to remind me that if I want to read in a file or have some other file system dependancy in a test then I really must apply the DeploymentItemAttribute to my test as well as setting it to copy to the output directory in some fashion. Oh, and I can get fancy by using the OutputDirectory property of said attribute if need be.
*sigh* If I say it often enough I will remember...
...I will use DeploymentItem and not scratch my head as every test fails...
