<nunit2>

Runs tests using the NUnit V2.2 framework.

The haltonfailure attribute is only useful when more than one test suite is used, and you want to continue running other test suites although a test failed.

Set failonerror to false to ignore any errors and continue the build.

In order to run a test assembly built with NUnit 2.0 or 2.1 using <nunit2> task, you must add the following node to your test config file :

<configuration>
    ...
    <runtime>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="nunit.framework" publicKeyToken="96d09a1eb7f44a77" culture="Neutral" /> 
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2.0.6.0" newVersion="2.2.8.0" /> 
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2.1.4.0" newVersion="2.2.8.0" /> 
            </dependentAssembly>
        </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
    ...
</configuration>

See the NUnit home page for more information.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
haltonfailure	bool	Stop the test run if a test fails. The default is false.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<test>

Tests to run.

Represents a test element of an <nunit2> task.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
appconfig	file	The application configuration file to use for the NUnit test domain. If not specified, NAnt will try to use a configuration name matching the file name of the assembly with extension ".config".	False
assemblyname	file	Name of the assembly to search for tests.	False
haltonfailure	bool	Build fails on failure. The default is true.	False
testname	string	Name of a specific testfixture to run. If not specified then all testfixtures are run.	False
transformfile	file	XSLT transform file to use when using the `Plain` formatter.	False

Nested Elements:

<assemblies>

Assemblies to include in test.

</assemblies>

<references>

Assemblies to scan for missing assembly references.

</references>

<categories>

Categories of test cases to include or exclude.

</categories>

</test>

<formatter>

Formatters to output results of unit tests.

Represents the FormatterElement of the NUnit task.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
type	FormatterType	Type of formatter.	True
extension	string	Extension to append to the output filename.	False
outputdir	directory	Specifies the directory where the output file should be written to, if `usefile` is true. If not specified, the output file will be written to the directory where the test module is located.	False
usefile	bool	Determines whether output should be persisted to a file. The default is false.	False

</formatter>

Examples

Run tests in the MyProject.Tests.dll assembly.

<nunit2>
    <formatter type="Plain" />
    <test assemblyname="MyProject.Tests.dll" appconfig="MyProject.Tests.dll.config" />
</nunit2>

Only run tests that are not known to fail in files listed in the tests.txt file.

<nunit2>
    <formatter type="Xml" usefile="true" extension=".xml" outputdir="${build.dir}/results" />
    <test>
        <assemblies>
            <includesfile name="tests.txt" />
        </assemblies>
        <categories>
            <exclude name="NotWorking" />
        </categories>
        <references basedir="build">
            <include name="Cegeka.Income.Services.dll" />
            <include name="Cegeka.Util.dll" />
        </references>
    </test>
</nunit2>
