Tomas,

If you see changing NUnit2 as the only solution, it may be less work to step back from linking to the NUnit2 libraries and use the command line runner instead.

Reasons:
- The NUnit 2 command line runner has XML/XSLT support built-in.
- Decoupling the NUnit2 task from a specific NUnit2 build will be very helpful in the future, when updated versions will be made available.

Best regards,

Bernard

Bernard,


In short, bringing out a new release (0.8.0) is needed.
Note: A combined NAnt + NAntContrib package Would Be Nice as well, but
first things first.

I suggest a no-new-features-are-needed approach for this version.
The question is: What really *needs* to be done before the new version
can be released?

I am aware of the NUnit to NUnit 2 migration, and have been able to use
the latest NAnt and NUnit 2 using the exec task/console runner workaround.

I fully agree with all of this.

Note, however, that NUnit2 support in NAnt is already there, unfortunately,
as I see it, it's pretty much useless except for testing nant itself...
heck, can't even build the nantcontrib tests as is. I've been looking at
this from all possible angles, and at least to make it work as *I* think it
should, I see no other option short of modifying part of NUnit2 itself
(yuck) or rewriting a large part of what it already does inside nant to
support it (double yuck). This, at least, makes building nantcontrib in full
impossible at the moment unless we eliminate one of the task tests in it :(

If anyone has any better options, I'm all ears :)
