Just noticed the likely cause: when I turn off the setting "Reload when test assembly changes", the GUI runner *still* reloads the test assembly whenever it changes -- but now only once! Seems this setting is evaluated incorrectly.
-- nunit.exe session degrades with ever-lengthening "Reloading..." phase when test project is recompiled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673691 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: New Bug description: I'm using nunit to do unit testing for an ASP.NET MVC 2 project. I have a solution with two projects, one being the actual application, and the other being the unit tests. I use the nunit.exe gui to run the unit tests. I invoke the tests by opening up the dll produced by building the project. The first few times everything runs smoothly, with nunit.exe automatically reloading the project when I make changes and rebuild. However, this starts to take a longer and longer amount of time, and eventually, it will get into loop where it says "Reloading..." and the window flickers for a second, says "Reloading...", lather rinse repeat. The behavior is very non-deterministic from what I can observe so far. Sometimes it's fine for ages, sometimes it dies immediately. Perhaps particular change to the project cause massive problems in nunit.exe. I am happy to investigate if someone can point me in the right direction. _______________________________________________ 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
