Marcin,
I don't have a link to good unit tests right now, but I do have some
suggestions that unit tests should follow...
Neither do I, but this happens to be an area in which I'm interested
(specifically I'm interested both in automating Subversion and in unit
testing), so I'd be glad to help work on these.
the tests is not found. This will mark the tests as "not run" instead
of "failed", and so won't cause the build to fail.
Personally, I think failed unit tests should never cause the build to
fail unless they happen to be exploited as a gating mechanism for some
other part of the build (e.g. an installation or deployment task). My
definition of failure for a build is whether or not the explicit targets
failed to meet their objectives. A build target fails if it didn't
create all of the result files, a compile target fails if it couldn't
create all of the .obj (or similar) files, a unit test target fails if
it couldn't run the unit tests to produce a unit test result file (but
not if the unit tests themselves produced failure), a clean target fails
if anything is left around (but not if it couldn't clean because it was
already clean), etc. I only mention this because I don't think NAnt's
current mechanism for failure is up to this approach, so this may be
food for thought for a future version. I'm thinking along the lines of
explicit, detailed dependencies such as "target a depends upon target b
completing with any status, target c depends upon target d completing
successfully, and target e depends upon target f running and failing."
I think this is post v1.0, but it's an interesting idea.
