Path to a file in a TestMethod

Clifford Nelson asked:

Open original thread
I have a file in my code (a library) that is required for running the code. In this case it is an XML file. Currently I have it in the root of the main program, and it works fine when running the code. However, I need this file for some information when running unit tests. How should I specify the path so that the file will be found? Currently I use the following code to load the file:

doc.Load(xmlFilePath.AbsolutePath);


For the applicaiton this argument is just

new Uri("QuickDateStrings.xml")


so effectively I have the following:

doc.Load(new Uri("QuickDateStrings.xml"));

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
