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

Make sure you are debugging the correct test!

I have some tests with very similar names except for the last word in the test name. I had the break point set in the first test and was using Visual Studios "Test Explorer" window to "Debug Selected Tests" on the second test, which didn't have a breakpoint set.

Test names

PublishAsync_Valid_Acked
PublishAsync_Valid_Nacked
