Dear AppVeyor Team.
We are experiencing some difficulties building our project: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/alexed1/dockyard/build/1.0.115/tests

All tests that require app.config - fail. Looks like app.config file is not picked by the test running service. All test run on local machine though.

Can you help?

   Hi Yakov,

   What testing framework do you use?

   Hi Feodor, we use NUnit.

   I remember testing that some time ago and it worked. Look at this very simple test project using NUnit: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/nunit-config-test

   This is app.config: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/nunit-config-test/blob/master/NUni...
   ...and this is the test reading values from config: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/nunit-config-test/blob/master/NUni...

   Build results in AppVeyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/nunit-config-test/bui...

   The main point you should pay attention to is app.config being copied to the output directory with <test_assembly>.dll.config name. Look at line #27 here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/nunit-config-test/bui...

   Hope that helps.

   does it make any difference if config file in project is named "app.config" or "App.config" ?

   I don't think so. Make sure *.dll.config appears in output directory by adding dir command to after_build.

   Feodor, we have tried that, config file exists.

   We're trying to display it's contents, however "rebuild commit" command no longer runs, error message says "Build version 1.0.121 already exists."

   Can you help?

   Okay we got this fixed by incrementing build version.

   Can you add me ([email blocked]) to collaborators (https://ci.appveyor.com/team), so I can see build results?

   Feodor, we found an issue. It has to do with project dependencies between tests. We will reorganize dependencies between test projects that should help. Thank you for your support.
