[Nant-users] NUnit2 task seems to skip test assembly

[Michael Smith]

NAnt 0.84 (Build 0.84.1455.0; net-1.0.win32; release; 12/26/2003)

 

I have a standard csharp test that works fine through the nuni-gui, but seems to be totally skipped in the build script. I've ensured that the test assembly is referencing the nant.framework.dll from ..\nant\bin to ensure version compatibility. You'll notice from the console output segment that the expected [nunit2] lines are totally missing. There are no errors reported or logged (that i can find). However, if I remove the <formatter> element, I do get the [nunit2] console warnings about giving a propert formatter for forward compatibility. This clues me in that the task is getting fired.

 

However, there is just no output and if I modify the test code for force a failure, no failure is reported from the build script. Again, the same forced failure will be propertly reported via the gui. What this means is, I can open my test class, select a test function and add a new line of code to throw an unexpected exception... but it just doesn't seem to work.

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

Here is the build script target that builds the little utility and attempts to run it's supporting tests:

 <target name="build-utilities" depends="initialize" description="builds the utilities that are required for the build file process">

  <!-- NUNIT2 is not working correctly. It appears to skip the test, even though everything appears to be correct.-->
  <nunit2 verbose="true" haltonfailure="true">
