UnauthorizedAccessException when debugging test ``Compile to Assembly`` from the Test Explorer in VS

[ScottHutchinson]

The executeProcess function is called with the workingDir parameter = "".

Somehow the working directory is defaulting to C:\Windows\System32 when the workingDir parameter = "", which causes an exception from the lines below.

    #if DEBUG
            File.WriteAllLines(Path.Combine(workingDir, "StandardOutput.txt"), outputList)
            File.WriteAllLines(Path.Combine(workingDir, "StandardError.txt"), errorsList)
    #endif

An exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code
Access to the path 'C:\Windows\System32\StandardOutput.txt' is denied.

Some other tests are also affected.

We need to default the working directory to the assembly location. Maybe like this:

    #if DEBUG
            let workingDir' =
                if workingDir = ""
                then
                    let executionLocation = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
                    Path.GetDirectoryName executionLocation
                else
                    workingDir

            File.WriteAllLines(Path.Combine(workingDir', "StandardOutput.txt"), outputList)
            File.WriteAllLines(Path.Combine(workingDir', "StandardError.txt"), errorsList)
    #endif

I'm going to close this as it's a test issue and the repro isn't quite clear enough
