I've tried to reproduce it with both the GUI and the console and I actually get a different outcome than what you described. None of them crashes but the agent process' death is causing some confusion indeed, and I don't even get a stackoverflow if the test assembly is compiled with optimizations. I didn't inspect the IL but I guess the compiler is transforming the recursive call into a loop.
Regardless, I'm not sure it's really worth handling this case though, it sounds like a quite uncommon scenario. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083821 Title: NUnit runner crashes when test gives StackOverflowException Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Invalid Bug description: Made a brand new test project, and in the default TestMethod1 method: [Test] public void TestMethod1() { TestMethod1(); } The runner application gives "NUnit-Agent has stopped working", and then the main GUI crashes out when anything else is done with it.
