Originally created by @zadjii-msft on GitHub (Jan 31, 2020).

Since I just used a copy rule for the TestHostApp project's dependency on the LocalTests_TerminalApp project, if you just change the test code, the TestHostApp build won't auto pick-up the updated TerminalApp.LocalTests.dll. This is annoying if youre iterating on the local tests, since you can't just build TestHostApp to get the updated LocalTests.

The rule that's bad:

    <!-- Copy our test code from LocalTests_TerminalApp into this directory -->
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(_TestBinRoot)\LocalTests_TerminalApp\TerminalApp.LocalTests.dll"
          DestinationFiles="$(TargetDir)\TerminalApp.LocalTests.dll" />

As a workaround, you have to manually

copy bin\x64\Debug\LocalTests_TerminalApp\TerminalApp.LocalTests.dll x64\Debug\TestHostApp\ /y

from the solution root

I think there's a <Copy> option that says "always do this" or "only do if out of date".

You know what, we did this at some point in the past. I'm too lazy to look up the specific commit ATM.
