WcfTestClient Not Starting When Debugging WCF Service

I don’t create enough new WCF services to remember this apparently, but in order to get WcfTestClient to run when debugging a service (hitting F5), open up the project properties and under the run tab, choose Start Action | Specific page and select the .svc file you want to debug.

I created a new WCF Service project, renamed the .svc and when I hit F5, no test client. I seem to recall running into this last year as well.
