Hi there,

We just updated our test suite from NUnit 2.6.4 to Nunit 3.5. Ncrunch does not recognize tests anymore (No tests are queued for execution, Monitoring no tests etc...)

Downgrading NUnit back to 2.6.4 and NCrunch finds our tests again. I have just installed the latest 3.3.0.6 using Visual Studio 2015. Same problem

It seems that NCrunch 3.5 should be supported according to the documentation. I deleted all the NCrunch files and folder under the solution but the problem still persists.

Is there a specific option somewhere to enable NUnit 3.5 support?

Bests,
Michael

PS:
Disregard my message to support with the same question. Thanks

I managed to find the reason for the issue but why the problem occurs is still a mistery.
There is one file in our tests suite that is causing the issue. If I remove that file, everything is fine, if I add that file back, NCRunch cannot load the tests (ALL TESTS in the solution, not only the set of tests in the file). It works fine with NUnit 2.6.4

The file is testing an object that uses an enumeration defined in a C++ managed assembly as parameter of a method. If I remove the enum parameter from the method signature, all works fine.... this is vey very strange
Any idea what might be causing the issue

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

NUnit v3 is a complete redesign of NUnit with massive internal changes to the test framework. Accordingly, this required complete reintegration with NCrunch from scratch. Essentially, NUnit v2 and v3 are completely different testing frameworks.

Complex types as parameters on tests are deceptively difficult to handle in both the test framework and its host runner (NCrunch), as the parameters themselves need to be serialized in a consistent manner between different environments. I would recommend steering away from using unmanaged types as parameters to test cases. Wrap them if you can.

It's possible that NUnit v3 itself doesn't support these types as test case parameters. Have you tried running your NUnit v3 tests using any other tooling?

Hi Remco,

Nunit v3 support these types. I ran the tests using Resharper (which I had not used for testing well over 2 years) as well as nunit console and all is well.
In the meantime, I did wrap those parameters into C# and life is great again with NCrunch (I should here mentioned that NCrunch is an amazing tool!)
But at least you know that there is some friction. There are probably not a lot of users using C++ managed enum from C# so it may safely be ignored :)

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for confirming! Is there any chance you could share the enum/test declarations with me? I'd really like to investigate further to see if it's possible to fix this.
