How do I get TeamCity to understand PROJECT_DIR variable in Run Configuration?

This is strange, $PROJECT_DIR$ should be resolved without problems. Can you provide a build log, or sample project to reproduce this issue?

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your reply.

The exception from the Build Log is shown below. It seems that TeamCity has not substituted PROJECT_DIR.

Each test tried to read my config file so they all fail with the same exception.

I tried defining it as a Configuration Parameter and an Environment variable and that didn't work.

Regards,
David

Hi Again,

I've attached a sample project the illustrate the problem clearly.

If you configure the "All tests" run configuration in TeamCity it will not run because it won't resolve the $PROJECT_DIR$ variable.

I've also raised a bug for this http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/TW-17674?projectKey=TW&query=%22run+configuration%22

David
