Yeah, I'm there with you, maybe some documentation would solve this problem.
Also, maybe this isn't the optimal solution, but we could add an option to change the current directory if you want to have the current env dir set. As long as we differ from the NUnit console/gui, there will be confusion and complaints. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomas Restrepo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Scott Hernandez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 6:55 PM Subject: Re: [nant-dev] NUnit Error With NAnt... > Hi Scott, > > > True.
