Hi,

We have a Visual Studio solution file and it contains around 60 projects. We created a "AllTests.config" and "AllTests.Nunit" files
as a solution items. Here, the "AllTests.Nunit" file to execute the test cases of all the projects and "AllTests.Config" file has
configuration details. Normally, when we invoke "AllTests.Nunit", it loads the test fixtures of all projects and execute the test
cases.

Right now, we are exploring NCrunch and it has isolated storage for each project and executes the test cases there it self.
But, we are getting the error because it expecting the configuration file. So, I have added the above 2 files (i.e. AllTests.Config, AllTests.Nunit)
but still we are getting the same error. I believe that, NCrunch process expecting the configuration file name should be
match with project name like (i..e abc.csproj, abc.config).

Please help, how to configure the configuration file and ".Nunit" files to execute all test cases of a solution.

Thanks

Hi akb, thanks for posting!

When NCrunch creates a test runner to run your tests, it follows the standard .NET convention by loading the config file which has the same name as the test assembly. This means that for the AllTests.Config file to be used by NCrunch, you'll need to rename this and ensure it is copied into the build output directory.

I would recommend doing this using a post-build step in each project, and ensuring that your post-build steps are enabled in your NCrunch configuration (NCrunch will usually suppress them). You can do this fairly generically using MSBuild properties, for example:

copy "$(ProjectDir)AllTests.config" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)$(AssemblyName).dll.config"

NCrunch itself cannot make use of the .nunit file. To my knowledge, this file is a simple project list used by the NUnit GUI and isn't required by NCrunch, which is able to obtain the list of test projects directly from VS.
