NUnit failed to load in TFS build

Question

I’m having a \"build partially succeeded\" issue with this error “NUnit failed to load e:\\Builds\\184\\CSTax\\706USServices_Test\\bin\\Calc.Tests.dll”, but all of the unit test

Answer 1

You need to:

1. Download the NUnit test adapter: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/6ab922d0-21c0-4f06-ab5f-4ecd1fe7175d . Rename the NUnitVisualStudioTestAdapter-2.0.0.vsix to NUnitVisualStudioTestAdapter-2.0.0.zip. Unzip NUnitVisualStudioTestAdapter-2.0.0.zip.
2. Check in the following dlls: nunit.core.dll, nunit.core.interfaces.dll, nunit.util.dll and NUnit.VisualStudio.TestAdapter.dll into a folder in TFS Version Control.
3. Specify the build controller's path to custom assemblies:
4. Then queue a build, the NUnit test methods will be run.

Also have a check on the Enable a third-party unit framework part of this MSDN article for the details: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms253138.aspx

Answer 2

The issue is a bug in the NUnit 3.0 test adapter, I removed our E2E project off of the build server and all my builds went green. NUnit is looking into this bug.
