Comment 25 for bug 582051

Hi Chris,

Are these your tests or the NUnit tests? I ask because the NUnit tests do
run extra copies of nunit-agent.

When running your own tests, there should be a copy of nunit-agent which
is created each time you load or reload the tests. It doesn't go away at
the end of the run, howver.

To debug in this situation, you have to attach to nunit-agent, which is a
limitation of our use of a separate process.

From what you are saying, I'm seeing this bug pretty well fixed, but
I'll wait to see if there are comments from anybody else.

Charlie

> Bug description:
> Just downloaded v2.5.5.10112 of Nunit. In a new VS2010 project I am unable to get either the nunit.exe or nunit-console.exe programs to recognize my test cases. The programs run, and after a while tell me 'can't find test fixture' in the case of nunit-console, and a similar message with nunit. The test class has TestFixture applied, and is public, the method has TestCase applied (started as Test) and is also public. The project has references to the 2.5.5 versions of nunit.core.dll and nunit.framework.dll.
