I’m not able to debug my tests using Resharper-Debug option in my project. I have seen this issue raised by lots of people, but has’t come across a solid suggestion which solves my issue.
The strange thing is that, if I create a sample project and write a simple unit test, I’m able to debug it without any issues.However when I try to do this in my current project, it simply throws a dialog box saying “Cannot Launch Debugger”.I have checked this with my peers, and they does’t face this issue 🙁

Also I don’t have any issues while running the test.

It’s an XP machine and following is the version of resharper:

JetBrains ReSharper 5.1 C# Edition
Build 5.1.1753.4 on 2010-10-15T15:51:30

Licensed to: XXXXXXX
Plugins: none.
Visual Studio 9.0.21022.8.

    I occasionally encounter a test that can’t be launched with the Resharper debug icon (due to mock objects or 32 vs 64 bit dlls). A solution that works for me is to add an explicit call to launch the debugger in the test

    Debugger.Launch();

    Then just run the test as normal. When code execution hits that line you get a security popup (pick yes)

    then a visual studio choice popup (pick your currently running visual studio).

    alt text

    You’ll be dropped into your code in debug mode at the location where you added the Debugger.Launch() line.
