NancyFx testing: The type or namespace Bootstrapper cannot be found

Question

Update: I resolved my problem substituting

var directoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(typeof (Bootstrapper).Assembly.CodeBase);

With

var directoryName = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

So test work fine now. Anyway i leave question open in case someone could make the original code working (may be explaining why the Bootstraper is better than my solution :) so i can understand why is used here

Original Question

I'm just working with Nancyfx in C#, but i'm just restart to work in last week on c# and probably i'm missing a lot of concept related to dot.net and c#, will study about those in this weekend

Trying to create some test for a nancy module (i use Nunit and helper test class of NancyFx) i have the problem that those tests have to use the Path of the project for which i write the test for(that is for example i write those test in TestProject and i'm testing SelfHostNancyProject). So i need to resolve this problem definitively (actually i manually copied the Views directory of project SelfHostNancyProject in the Views directory of TestProject). But copying around those dir/files even with an automatically post-build command is not the best way.

I discover this solution https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/wiki/Nancy-Testing-View-Location but copying the code of class TestingRootPathProvider inside my code i have the error

The type or namespace Bootstrapper cannot be found

public class TestingRootPathProvider : IRootPathProvider
{
  private static readonly string RootPath;

  static TestingRootPathProvider()
  {
    var directoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(typeof Bootstrapper).Assembly.CodeBase);

    if (directoryName != null)
    {
      var assemblyPath = directoryName.Replace(@"file:\", string.Empty);
      RootPath = Path.Combine(assemblyPath, "..", "..", "..", "Escape.Web");
    }
  }

  public string GetRootPath()
  {
    return RootPath;
  }
}

But hanging around with google i can't find a solution. I see that seems something related to app inizialization What are Bootstrappers/Bootstrapping in C#

But in any case i don't understand which import i have to do (if any) to resolve the problem or may be there is something i'm missing.

Can you put you answer below, it is OK if you have answered your own question. — Dai Bok, Oct 30 '17 at 11:06
yes, if you cant do it now, you may just need to wait a few days and then accept it — Dai Bok, Oct 31 '17 at 15:35
