When I try to run my Unit Test project, I get the following error:

Answer 1

There is a common error about executing unit tests : the execution folder.

Are you sure your unit test is running in the correct folder ? Not in the famous obj folder ?

In the obj folder, only generated assemblies are copied, not dependencies -even copy local true-. So if your test is launched from this folder, all the dependencies will missing.
