Bruce, This has always been somewhat problematic with the nUnit console and nAnt.
I ran into the same problem and had a hell of a time resolving it myself but what I found was that if you are including the nUnit DLL(s) in your project the easiest way to get this to work is to make sure that you have the same version in your project as what nUnit / nAnt are looking for and the problem goes away. Now this gets a little more complicated if you are using libraries which are bound to a particular version of the nUnit framework - which was exactly the case in my project where I was using the Spring.NET framework which was compiled against an older versio. Luckily the Spring team provided me with a newer version of the component library that was compiled against the correct version and it all worked. Hope that helps somewhat Whatty -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Scharlau [mailto:b.schar...@abdn.ac.uk] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 4:33 AM To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [NAnt-users] problems with nunit-console and nant Hi all, I'm trying to have nant build my dll files for source and test and then run nunit-console over the test dll file, but it doesn't find the nunit.framework.dll. I keep getting the 'could not load file or assembly nunit.framework, ... 2.5.5.10112 ' error. I used to get the one referencing 2.2.8.0 until I realised that was the one nant was using. I have tried putting the framework dll files on the system path, but that doesn't seem to help either. I've also copied them into the same directory as nunit-conlsole.exe and am including them on the compile steps. So, is there a way to put the framework dll files on the path for the command, or have I overlooked a step along the way? I had been trying to use nunit2 task in nant, but that seemed a pain to use, so figured this would be easier. The build file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project name="ClassLibrary1" default="all-2"> <target name="clean"> <delete> <fileset> <include name="build/**" /> </fileset> </delete> </target> <target name="compile-helper" depends="clean"> <mkdir dir="build" /> <csc target="library" output="build/Bank.dll"> <sources> <include name="Bank.cs" /> </sources> </csc> </target> <target name="compile-test" depends="compile-helper"> <csc target="library" output="build/BankTest.dll"> <sources> <include name="tests/BankTest.cs" /> </sources> <references basedir="build"> <include name="Bank.dll" /> <include name="C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\framework\nunit.framework.dll" /> </references> </csc> </target> <target name="all" depends="compile-test"> <mkdir dir="build/Results" /> <nunit2> <formatter type="Xml" usefile="true" extension=".xml" outputdir="build/Results" /> <test assemblyname ="build/BankTest.dll" appconfig="app.config"> <assemblies basedir="build"> <include name="build/BankTest.dll" /> </assemblies> <references basedir="build"> <include name="build/Bank.dll" /> <!-- include name="${nant::scan-probing-paths('nunit.framework.dll')}" / --> <include name="C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\framework\nunit.framework.dll" /> </references> </test> </nunit2> </target> <target name="all-2" depends="compile-test"> <exec program="nunit-console.exe" basedir="C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0" workingdir="C:\Users\bscharla\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ClassLibrary1\ClassLibrary1" commandline="build/BankTest.dll /xml:results.xml /nologo" > </exec> </target> </project> -- cheers, Bruce Dr. Bruce Scharlau Dept. of Computing Science Meston Building, Room 229 University of Aberdeen Aberdeen AB24 3UE 01224 272193 http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~bscharla mailto:b.schar...@abdn.ac.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
