C# – TestDriven.net, right click, run test, doesn’t re-build

ctestdriven.net

I am using testDriven.net and when I right-click and run tests, it appears to build, then runs the test. Only it doesn't really do the build. I keep making changes and the test still fails:) I have to do a VS Build, then run the testDriven.net to get changes to take effect.

This clears up for a while if I delete the solution's .SUO file. Any thoughts?

You already provided the workaround in your answer, which is to build first, then run your tests.

Is your version current?

Release Notes - TestDriven.NET: 2.14
1390: Honour the solution 'Configuration Manager' project 'Build' settings
When running all tests in a solution, only projects with 'Build' checked in the 'Configuration Manager' will be built and executed.

Release Notes - TestDriven.NET: 2.12
1199: Improve support for "Smart Build"
This version should correctly determine when a build is required before a test run. The previous version might incorrectly skip the build if only a non-source project item had changed.
