nunit-console is broken

[Travis Raphael Miller]

Binary package hint: nunit-console

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04. This is in the nunit-console package.

The issue is that nunit-console.exe first reads an xml config file called /usr/lib/nunit/nunit-console.exe.config

The top of this xml file has the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
and most if not all installations of Ubuntu do not include an support for Windows-1252 encoding. Once the
encoding="Windows-1252" is removed from the xml header in the file then the nunit-console program works fine.

This really should be fixed asap as it is a trivial (1 minute fix).

I can't reproduce this - nunit-console works fine here, even with that encoding set.

I can confirm that this issue is still present in 8.10 ( Intrepid )

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I ran into this problem in 9.04, too. After searching the net, I found the same problem showed up in several other cases with mono. The solution is to run:

sudo apt-get install libmono-i18n2.0-cil

Installing this package solved the above problem. Perhaps the person who could not reproduce the problem already has that package installed (quite likely if he does stuff with nunit and mono). Perhaps, libmono-i18n2.0-cil should be added as a dependency to the nunit and nunit-console package.
