@Matthias, I was hoping that my previous message would clarify what I'm trying to accomplish but maybe I don't understand the question so let me see if I can answer it another way.
1. Attributes.dll contains code that all of my test suites rely on, without it my suites will not load as they are dependent on it. The only way I can get nunit to start up properly is to to copy Attributes.dll to the nunit binary directory. Attributes.dll then will have to reside in both the nunit binary location to satisfy nunit and in my test suites binary location to satisfy their dependency. 2. Attributes.dll contains attributes that we use to provide test metadata such as descriptions, steps and expected results so that this information can be then maintained in our automation plan and bug tracking systems. The projects I uploaded illustrate the very basic case of how a small part of the system works in terms of the dependencies described in #1 above and which cause the behavior which appears to be incorrect. @Charlie, I'm sorry if I was not clear about this being a workaround, however, I was trying to convey a how rather than a why. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796880 Title: nunit-concole-x86 unable to load external library on which test suite depends on Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Invalid Bug description: Version: 2.5.10.11092 OS: Win7 64bit Mode: 32bit Environment: Solution with two projects: 1.
