TestDriven.net with Gallio, MbUnit and NCover problems

Question

Why doesnt TestDriven.Net work with my gallio/mbunit tests?

I've used TDD.Net with MbUnit v2 and not had any problems, but with the new gallio release on my new pc, it does nothing.

From the tdd right click menu in solution explorer, if i do "test with debugger" i get "0 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped" in the VS status bar at the bottom of the screen.

If i right click my fixture and do the same, i get

"The target type doesn't contain tests from a known test framework or a 'Main' method."

If i do it on an individual test, it looks like its not running the SetUp, so the test fails (but at least it runs)

I know this sounds like this problem, but my registry looks correct.

If i try and run NCover from the TDD.Net menu, nothing happens (other than an an output window flicker)

When i do "run unit tests" with resharper it picks them all up and runs correctly.

Im using Gallio/MbUnit 3.0.5.546, TDD.Net 2.18.2268, Resharper 4.1, VS 2k8 Pro 9.0.30729.1 SP, .Net 3.5 SP1, Windows Server 2k8 (x86)

Answer 1

You just need to make sure you install TestDriven.Net before Gallio. Otherwise the Gallio installer will not install its extensions for TestDriven.Net.

Answer 2

Also check that you are not throwing an exception in your fixture setup. This results in exactly the same error message.

See the 'Test Report' hyperlink just before the error message for further details (I usually ignore this link!)
