Problem setting Breakpoint in Unit Test

[joecool1969]

I have a project I am writing unit tests for and I am having a problem
with one of the tests. I set a break point at the beginning of the
test and found which statement was causing the problem. I need to run
the test again so I can step into the offending statement instead of
over it, but the test run now refuses to stop on the break point! What
gives??

Hi Joe,

This isn't really a C# question, but I'll try anyway. If you are using MS
Test for unit testing I assume you have tried to run the unit test in
'debug'. Every so often it will become out of sync. If you debug directly
from the test results pane you may then notice the "Run all tests" and "Debug
all tests" buttons have their icon slightly changed. If so try restarting
the test from code or from the Test List Editor.

I'm having the same problem - my breakpoints are not being picked up. It sounds as if this is a VS bug.

I didn't understand the reply. How do I get this to work?

Well, did you do a Build -- Clean Solution?

First thing I tried...

Interestingly I couldn't get it to happen reliably. I tried
generating a noddy solution, and that all worked fine. But I'm
working with a sprawling legacy app, and it worked sometimes and not
others.

Ensure that you have not enabled the "optmize code" option. This was my
mistake when I had the same problem with Sharp Develop.
