I used the Minimal addin, which is part of the NUnit samples to test this. I built the addin and copied it to the folder containing NUnit.exe. The addin did not appear. I copied it to the addins folder and it appeared. I repeated this on both Windows and Linux.
If you are using an older release, it's conceivable that you may have the behavior you describe but it does not appear to be the case with the current code. ** Tags removed: confirm ** Changed in: nunitv2 Status: New => Invalid -- AppIn documentation incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2. Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Invalid Bug description: The documentation states that nunit will look in the /addins folder for addins. It will look in its own folder prior to this and load you if you are there. If you are there it will ignore you in the addins folder. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core Post to : nunit-core@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nunit-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
