MSTest.exe error

  I think I need more info, maybe you have some kind of precondition you need for run unit tests which is not executing correctly when you run them from command line like copy to unit test run folder some test files or some connection to database

  Hello,

  You can try several things here.

  1. If you're using a testrunconfig file and you're specifying deployment files there, make sure you call it from the commandline,
  MSTest.exe /testcontainer:MyUnitTest.dll /runconfig:localtestrun.testrunconfig

  2. If you're not using a testrunconfig file (you don't need deployment items for all of the tests in your project), you can specify attributes in a per test basis; use the DeploymentItem attribute and specify an absolute path to your reference

  3. Make sure you added all references to your project as Projects references (from the Add reference dialog, hit the Projects tab).

  If these do not solve your problem, take a look at this thread that may be helpful:

  Please let me know if this helps

  With only this info, I can only say, check if you're giving to Mstest, the right path and name for the test config file, and vsmdi file, maybe he is trying to localize some kind of configuration he doesn't get it, but it's strange, it checks this files first of all
