When I change the
OutputPath for my unit test project the tests are still discoverable in
Test Explorer, but when I try to run them (right-click -> Run) they don't run and I get the error below in Output window. Why it suddenly doesn't find that dll?
Code:
Building Test Projects
Starting test discovery for requested test run

The
bin folder in the new
OutputPath location seems to have all files that would have been in the
bin folder inside the project folder if I haven't changed the
OutputPath.
I use MStest from Visual Studio 2022.
What am I missing here?
