VS2012 not running any tests

When trying to run tests in any way from VS2012, either nothing happens or this error appears in the output log:

An exception occurred while test discoverer 'MSTestDiscoverer' was loading tests. Exception: Root element is missing.

Root element is missing means there's an XML file somewhere with no root element. In my case, my unit test project had a testsettings file with nothing in it. The fix was to simply delete the testsettings file
