Question

How do I set up VS 2010 and NUnit to deploy dependencies for tests like the built in Visual Studio Testing Tools?

The built in tools allow you mark files or folders to deploy with your tests (through “Test Settings: Deployment”). It groups test output into directories sorted by date.

I would like to get something like that working with NUnit (which is awesome, esp with Resharper);

The closest I have been able to come with NUnit is adding this command as a post build event for my test project, where all the files my tests need are in TestResources directory:

xcopy.exe $(ProjectDir)\TestResources . /E /Y 

I couldn’t find anything on the interwebs, Resharper, or NUnit documentation… and I got lost in the MSBuild docs.

You can files or folders to be copied in the Property Inspector, and they’ll be copied over o the output folder. Set the Build Action to “Content”: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/0c6xyb66(v=VS.80).aspx
