I have an MSBuild script that uses NUnit to run tests in two assemblies. These were on .NET Framework 3.5 and it worked perfectly for a long time.
The command line was: (actual paths & names simplified)
nunit-console tests1\bin\debug\tests1.dll tests2\bin\debug\tests2.dll
I've upgraded to VS2010 and have now made the two test assemblies target .NET 4.0. I've also upgraded to NUnit 2.5.4.
I can unit test a single assembly with the following:
nunit-console tests1\bin\debug\tests1.dll /framework=4.0.30319
It works fine with either tests1.dll or tests2.dll.
If I try to specify both like before, it now fails.
nunit-console tests1\bin\debug\tests1.dll tests2\bin\debug\tests2.dll /framework=4.0.30319
The error is:
Could not load file or assembly 'tests2' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've had a look in fuslogvw and it shows tests2 being searched for in the tests1\bin\debug and nunit-console folders. It never searches tests2\bin\debug even though it's specified on the command line.
What's up with that?
Pure guesswork, but it sounds like a regression in the new version of NUnit.
You're varying two things at once - have you tried running the tests with the older version of NUnit that worked previosuly? That should give you a clue as to which way the problem lies.
