Current Working Directory

Discussion:

In NUnit 2.5 alpha 2,

This:
string currentDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

Gives this value...
currentDir = "C:\\Program Files\\NUnit 2.5\\net-2.0"

I think this is different than it used to work, but it might just be a
setting as well..

Hi Kelly,

Is this in a test or in your addin code? If the former, it's a bug,
because NUnit guarantees that each test is run with the current
directory set to the location of the test assembly. If it's in
an addin, there is no guarantee that applies to all addins,
but for those that load tests, it should also be the location
of the test assembly.

It's using your DataSource. My Addin doesn't have anything to do with
this one. So, I think it's a bug at this point unless there is some
property or something I may have messed with inadvertently.

I didn't mean /your/ addin, but whether we are talking test
code or addin code, since the rules are defined in one case
and undefined in the other - until we decide upon some
guarantee.

So, do you mean it's code in the property with DataSourceAttribute?
If so, that's a new area and I'm open to proposals about whether
the current directory should be guaranteed and - if so - to what.
