Where can I find the VSMDI file needed to execute the codedUI tests outside of visual studios, in a command prompt.

I googled and found the following line;

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86 ^&^& cd C:\Users\YOUR_USER_HERE\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\YOUR_PROJECT ^&^& Mstest /testmetadata:YOUR_PROJECT.vsmdi /testlist:YOUR_TEST_LIST ^& pause

However whenever I input my specifications I end up with the following error:

File "YOUR_PROJECT.vsmdi" not found .

I'm pretty pressured time wise and really appreciate any suggestions you guys may have.

    vsmdi files are deprecated in Visual Studio 2012, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh507838%28v=vs.110%29.aspx which has some notes on using them. – AdrianHHH Aug 27 '14 at 17:21

I would think it lives near your solution file...

Especially the solution where you made the testproject( which I moved once to another solution and had this problem...)
