Deployment location option no longer there under test configuration

Hi,

We just upgraded to RC1. When I open up a test configuration file in the IDE and edits its properties, there no longer is an option where you can specify where you want your test projects to build. In the previous versions, you could specify an output path if you selectedDeployment, Deployment Location, User Defined Directory.The entireDeployment Locationframe is missing in RC1. It seems to honor a user defined output path if it was brought over from the previous version, but you cannot see it in the UI, nor can you change it in the UI.

I don't want the tests to build to the default location, and was wondering how you can specify what used to be calledUser Defined Directory on theDeploymentpane of the test configuration form. All you can do know is add folders and files that you would like to have deployed along with your tests.

Thanks.

In previous version, the default deployment directory was under the user profile directory. It was hard for users to find and clean up. Therefore, we also offered a user-defined deployment directory. In current product, we've changed the default deployment directorty to be under the solution (TestResults), which is very easy to locate and clean up. So we don't allow users to change the deployment directory from the test run configuration UI anymore.

That being said, you ARE able to change the deployment directory by directly modifying the test run configuration file if you really want to change it. If you open the test run configuration file in XML editor, you can modify the following two elements:
<UserDeploymentRoot> //this is where you specify your own deployment directory
<useDefaultDeploymentRoot> // change this value to True

Thanks,
James

Thanks James. I did notice that it continued to honor changes you had made to the output directory in the XML file. I just wanted to confirm that the feature to specify an output directory had been removed and wasn't hidden in some option somewhere that I failed to notice.
