When building a visual studio solution using visual studio team services it runs the unit tests, written in nunit 3 using the nunit 3 NUnit3TestAdapter it starts running the tests.
The error it gives is: Error: Illegal characters in path.
The complete output as follows

We have an on premise build agent but I don't think this should make an difference.
Any advice you can give it appreciated.
回答1:
I met this issue when I use NUnit3 Test Adapter Nuget Package during the build. And I resolved it by installing NUnit3 Test Adapter and upload all the installed files to Version Control and use it as the Test Adapter.
Since you are using on premise build agent. You can easily install the NUnit3 Test Adapter on the build agent and use "/UseVsixExtensions:true" argument as the error message indicates.

FWIW, I switched on verbose logging by following the Tips and Tricks and got this:

which correlates with %LOCALAPPDATA%\NUnit\Nunit30Settings.xml being accessed but might not be related. ExtensionService is here.
Issues #117 and #118 are related to this with a fix as provided by RobertK66:
If you install the Version 3.0.8.0 as a Nuget package then there is a corrupted (not empty!) “ignore.addins” file installed in the packages\NUnit3TestAdapter.3.0.8-ctp-8\lib folder. Earlier Versions did install a 0byte empty file!
After removing the content of this file in the /packages/NUnit3TestAdapter.3.0.8-ctp-8\lib folder and deleting the cached version of the adapter under \AppData\Local\Temp\VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions... everything works as expected!
