Quite often I have unit tests using MSTest for code that is in a GAC deploy assembly. Typically on my development machine I also have a version of code deployed to the GAC. This results in an issue when making changes in the code under test because the unit tests keep running against the GAC deployed assembly.
So, to actually test the changed code I have to re-deploy the assembly to the GAC before running the tests. Thats is quite error-prone and not easy to work with. Does anyone have a good sugestion on how to work-around this problem? I think simply running GACUtil or similar in the post-build event is not a workable solution as it might cause problems for fellow developers…
use other assembly version when you make changes
