MissingManifestResourceException when running tests after building with MSBuild (.mresource has path in manifest)

Question

I am having a problem with embedded resources for a C# project on a build server using MSBuild on the command line. The project works just fine when building and running tes

Answer 1

It appears adding LogicalName to the project file fixes it:

<LogicalName>$(RootNamespace).Properties.Resources.resources</LogicalName> 

i.e. so the embedded resource entry in the project file looks like this:

<ItemGroup>
  <EmbeddedResource Include="Properties\Resources.resx">
    <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
    <LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
    <LogicalName>$(RootNamespace).Properties.Resources.resources</LogicalName> 
  </EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>

This is detailed in: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msbuild/archive/2007/10/19/manifest-resource-names-changed-for-resources-files.aspx

Note that we are using a .resx file, but the bug still appears to occur.
