TestRunner add-in for Visual Studio updated to work with NUnit v2.1

I noted on my .NET Test Driven Development article that I had problems getting TestRunner to work with NUnit v2.1.

Well all that has changed now. Will Ballard sent me an email saying the he had updated TestRunner to play nice with the stock NUnit 2.1 and uploaded it to the site. I downloaded it late last night, and now it works. Here's a screenshot (note that this is inside Visual Studio!):

You gotta love the .NET community!

Yep, it's pretty darn cool, especially since the NUnitAddin doesn't have green and red bars.

I've been having trouble getting debugging with the addin to work with a project that uses remoting (TestRunner uses remoting to manage Unit test in another process I think). I also haven't found any documentation on TestRunner. Anyone know about any docs? I've looked through http://www.mailframe.net/Products/TestRunner.htm

Norm - I don't think there are any docs available for TestRunner. Try checking out VSNunit here: http://www.relevancellc.com/vsnunit.htm

Hi Darrell,

I'm kind of new to .NET and just beginning to look at TDD (very intrigued). I've installed Testrunner into .net but it can't seem to find the defined test in the assembly. However, NUnit-gui 2.1.4 has no trouble finding and running it. From your comments above, it seems as though you experienced the same thing but resolved it with a new build of testrunner. I have not been able to do this. Has Testrunner been broken again since? Any ideas for a work around?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan Kengott

Dan - I looked at the change log for TestRunner and I don't see where it was updated for v2.1.4 of NUnit (the version of NUnit most people have now). You can try VSNUnit (http://www.relevancellc.com/vsnunit.htm) or the NUnitAddin (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64706&package_id=62533) for Visual Studio integration of NUnit.

There is also some interesting test integration coming in Visual Studio 2005!
