Visual Studio “Debug Unit Test” fails to hit breakpoints

Question

When using Visual Studio 2008 and debugging my unit tests... sometimes the debugger works fine. However very often after modifying some code then clicking \"Debug Unit Test\

Answer 1

One problem that I stumbled upon when trying to debug a test method was that it was private. Simply changing the method from private to public fixed my problem.

I don't know why this is a problem, but it probably has something to do with the implementation of the [Test] attribute of NUnit.
