<p>It would be good to have more detailed information about the problem, but from what I see, it seems that file is not copied to the folder your test expects it to be. This exposed on AppVeyor because it runs builds on fresh VMs and will be probably reproduced on any non-AppVeyor fresh VM the same way. I would look into <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4596508/vs2010-how-to-include-files-in-project-to-copy-them-to-build-output-directory-a">Copy to Output Directory</a> setting.</p>
