Running tests from a remote folder expressed as a UNC path has never actually been supported by NUnit - even if it seemed to be working in 2.5.10. The standard approach is to assign a file letter to the remote share and use that in the path to the test assembly.
However, I'll look at the change and see if we can put back the functionality that was working for you. For NUnit 3.0, we'll examine the possibility of officially supporting UNC paths. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029785 Title: Test loaded from remote folder failed to run with exception System.IODirectory Not Found . Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New Bug description: When we load test from remote machine folder as \\MachineName\TestFolderName project loads successfully.But when I tried to run same tests it throws exception as follow System.IODirectory Not Found :Could Not Found Part of the Path 'D:\NUnitProject\bin\Debug\MachineName\TestFolderName'. Above scenario was working fine in NUnit-2.5.10.11092. When I tried to find out cause of this issue ,I find that there are changes in NUnit.Core.AssemblyHelper class.Differnces between these two versions are as follow NUnit-2.5.10.11092 public static string GetAssemblyPath(Type type) { return GetAssemblyPath(type.Assembly); } public static string GetAssemblyPath(Assembly assembly) { string path = assembly.CodeBase; Uri uri = new Uri(path); // If it wasn't loaded locally, use the Location if (!uri.IsFile) return assembly.Location; if (uri.IsUnc) return path.Substring(Uri.UriSchemeFile.Length + 1); return uri.LocalPath; } public static string GetDirectoryName( Assembly assembly ) { return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(GetAssemblyPath(assembly)); } Whereas the code in NUnit version 2.6 is as follow #region GetAssemblyPath public static string GetAssemblyPath(Type type) { return GetAssemblyPath(type.Assembly); } public static string GetAssemblyPath(Assembly assembly) { string uri = assembly.CodeBase; if (IsFileUri(uri)) return GetAssemblyPathFromFileUri(uri); else return assembly.Location; } #endregion #region // Public for testing purposes public static string GetAssemblyPathFromFileUri(string uri) { // Skip over the file:// int start = Uri.UriSchemeFile.Length + Uri.SchemeDelimiter.Length; if (System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar == '\\') { // Handle Windows Drive specifications if (uri[start] == '/' && uri[start + 2] == ':') ++start; } else { // Assume all Linux paths are absolute if (uri[start] != '/') --start; } return uri.Substring(start); } #endregion #region GetDirectoryName public static string GetDirectoryName( Assembly assembly ) { return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(GetAssemblyPath(assembly)); } #endregion #region Helper Methods private static bool IsFileUri(string uri) { return uri.ToLower().StartsWith(Uri.UriSchemeFile); } #endregion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nunitv2/+bug/1029785/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
