The solution implemented uses the already-existing (in 2.6) /work
option, which allows the user to specify the directory to be used for
all output files, including TestResult.xml. Users may set this option
using a script so that it includes the date and time in any desired
format. If the option is not used, the current directory is the work
directory.
Access to this path from tests is now provided using
TestContext.WorkDirectory.

Title:
Feature request: dynamic location for TestResult.xml
Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Feature Request: provide an option to include the run date and time
somewhere in the full path for the NUnit result file, TestResult.xml.
Ideally, that path would either originate in a test fixture, or else
originate in the NUnit framework, and be made available to the tests
in a test fixture, so they could send output to the same directory.
To illustrate the request with a specific example: suppose all tests
in a test fixture output diagnostic information to a directory named
"test run <run-date-time>", where "<run-date-time>" is the date and
time of the construction of the test fixture at run time. The purpose
of this request is to provide some way to output the NUnit result file
TestResult.xml to the same directory.
Possible mechanisms to provide this feature, or something equivalent:
1. Allow a TestFixture (or other class or method) to specify the
output path for TestResult.xml.
2. Provide for a macro in NUnit's configurable output path for
TestResult.xml, such that the date and time are included in the path,
and make that path available to test fixtures and tests.
3. Provide a post-processing step after TestResult.xml has been
written, where a named batch file could be run. Code in a test or
test fixture could dynamically generate the contents of that file, ex.
copy TestResult.xml "test run 2011-01-03-2300".
