TeamCity and running NUnit tests

Question

In TeamCity, i need to state exact locations of assemblies that contain NUnit tests to be executed.

Is there an option to state a .SLN file so it will look up these test projects dynamically?

Answer 1

You can use wildcard expressions in the Run tests from box:

Source\\**\bin\\**\*Tests.dll

The above would run tests from any assembly under any bin folder under the Source folder which contains 'Tests' at the end of the assembly name.

Answer 2

Depending on whether you're using MSBuild or NAnt, you can add an entry to your build script like this:

<ItemGroup>
  <TestAssemblies Include="tests\\test*.dll"/>
  <TestAssemblies Include="tests.lib\\test*.dll"/>
</ItemGroup>

<Target Name="runTests">
  <Exec Command="$(teamcity_dotnet_nunitlauncher) v2.0 x86 NUnit-2.5.0 %(TestAssemblies)" />
</Target>

In the example above, the two TestAssemblies lines point to your assemblies.
