Integration tests in separate project

[nojaf]

I tried to set up some end-to-end tests following https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/testing/integration-testing.html.

The docs don't seem to assume that the test assembly is a separate project in the test folder.
I did a basic test if my default route returns a 200.

    public class IndexPageTest
    {
        private readonly TestServer _server;
        private readonly HttpClient _client;

        public IndexPageTest()
        {
            _server = new TestServer(new WebHostBuilder().UseStartup<Startup>());
            _client = _server.CreateClient();
        }

        [Fact]
        public async Task DefaultRoute_ShouldReturn_Ok()
        {
            var response = await _client.GetAsync("/");
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        }
    }

When running this test it failed because my views and appSettings.json were not in the bin folder of the test project.

What is the best way to deal with this?

Tried to add it in my project.json but no luck

    "buildOptions": {
      "debugType": "portable",
      "copyToOutput": {
        "include": "../../src/MyProject/Views/",
        "mappings": {
          "./Views": "../../src/MyProject/Views/"
        }
      }
    }

Project structure:

rootfolder
  src
    MyProject
  test
    MyProject.Tests

Found a workaround by changing the content root

            char slash = Path.DirectorySeparatorChar;
            var contentRoot = $"..{slash}..{slash}..{slash}..{slash}..{slash}src{slash}MyProject";
            var webHostBuilder = new WebHostBuilder()
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .UseContentRoot(contentRoot);
