In my output folder, there is two .config files :

app.config
app.UnitTest.config

i am wondering which one is used at runtime for test dll, the obvious answer will be app.UnitTest.config, but, is there any cases where app.config is used ?

N.B. I am using NUnit.

I presume you also have app.dll and app.UnitTest.dll – phuzi Aug 11 '21 at 12:45
@phuzi yes exactly – youssef jirari Aug 11 '21 at 12:55
app.dll will use app.config and app.UnitTest.dll will use app.UnitTest.config. So when running unit tests (presumably in your app.UnitTest project) you the app.UnitTest.config will be used instead of app.config. – phuzi Aug 11 '21 at 13:22
