Why can I no longer run unit tests from the Resharper test runner?
Things were running fine. Who knows what changed, but now I end up with:
Unit Test Runner failed to load test assembly:
JetBrains.Resharper.TaskRunnerFramework.TaskException:Exception of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.CommandLine.CommandLineParameterException' was thrown.
This is Visual Studio 2010. Any suggestions?

Hi Kevin,
I had the same problem. Unfortunately I can't remember how I solved it but I can tell you how I found out what caused the issue.
I would suggest you start Visual Studio with the command line parameter /ReSharper.LogFile. Then you will find a log file from Resharper in %Temp%\JetLog.
Open the log file after you got the error and you will find the answer.
Best regards
Sven
EDIT
After reading Sergeys reply I think I remember my trouble had something to do with a missing testsettings file.
Hello Kevin,
Which version of ReSharper are you using? Are you able to run your tests
with MSTest console runner? Does this happen with any test (even in a newly
created class library project)? Thank you!

Fixed!
In my case, I was missing the local.testsettings file. After finding the right useful thread, it said to just readd one by right clicking on the solution, Add Item, Test, Local settings file. All's well.
