Test Adapter does not find addins

[Kurt Schelfthout]

[Issue now tracked on github: https://github.com/nunit/nunit-vs-adapter/issues/9]

We are trying to write an NUnit plugin for FsCheck (github.com/fsharp/fscheck). The addin works fine with the standalone test runner, although it is not shown in the addin dialog. According to this converstaion in the mailing list, this is because the addin is built with .NET 4.0:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nunit-discuss/je0VXIsVQNQ

The addin is also written and compiled using F# (3.0).

The addin does not work with the test adapter - we've tried putting the addin and its dependencies in the addins folder where the adapter lives, as well in the folder itself. It looks like it is never loaded.

It's not clear how to go about writing an addin for NUnit that works with the standalone runner, the test adapter, the test adapter NuGet package, and Resharper.

Why?

[Charlie Poole (charlie.poole)]

I'm not sure what "Why?" refers to.

If you mean "why doesn't it find them" that will be part of fixing the bug.
My guess is because addins are located by NUnit relative to the location of
the nunit.util assembly. I haven't analyzed it yet, however.

I meant why was it changed to Won't Fix?

See my comment on the bug. We're moving to VirGin where the bug is alive
and well. Unfortunately, all other closed statuses are even more confusing.

The integration testing framework Concordion-NET (https://github.com/x97mdr/concordion-net) has now NUnit support, where the fix of the NUnit Test Adapter would help to work smoothly in Visual Studio. I am looking forward to use NUnit addins in Visual Studio through the NUnit Test Adapter :-)
