Have mstest output my log file at a desired location

Question

I have test that runs in mstest, everything works fine and it gives me a log file. But the log file is outputted in the TestResults folder in the project. Is there a config setting I can change in mstest, which upon changing lets me output the log file to a location I desire.

If their is please advise me how to go about doing it.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can use /resultsfile switch to specify the location where you want the result file to be saved.

For more about MSTEST switches refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182489(v=vs.80).aspx -

Hi drm1981,

Glad to receive your reply.

If you just want to use the Visual Studio to change the location of the tests results, we can use another option in the Test Results toolbar “Export Test Run Results”. For detailed information, see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vstswebtest/thread/c5a1d7fe-ec31-48dd-ae87-26b922ed9baa.

Best Regards,
