Hi Charlie,

And more to it. I took Martin's link to the blog on how to Debug with VS2010
and added the startup tag to point to v4 and from then on NUnit crashes so I
remove the startup element from the nunit.exe.config file but still NUnit
fails to start! I tried debugging from VS 2010 and it throws a
FileNotFoundException for NUnitGUIRunner. It seems that the assembly
reference to the GAC version is no longer valid! It does seem that VS does
something fishy when using the nunit-agent for debugging:)

2.5.5 cannot find fixture for framework 4.0

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
Just downloaded v2.5.5.10112 of Nunit. In a new VS2010 project I am unable to get either the nunit.exe or nunit-console.exe programs to recognize my test cases. The programs run, and after a while tell me 'can't find test fixture' in the case of nunit-console, and a similar message with nunit. The test class has TestFixture applied, and is public, the method has TestCase applied (started as Test) and is also public. The project has references to the 2.5.5 versions of nunit.core.dll and nunit.framework.dll.

I changed the target runtime to 3.5, recompiled, and it has picked up on the test cases immediately (I'm still using the 2.5.5 dlls).

Possibly of interest, the gui really wants to use version 2 of the framework. I tried requesting version 4 from the menu but after a while, it fails to find the test and reverts back to version 2 of the framework.

I'm using VS2010 (evaluation edition at the moment), on 64 bit Vista.

I've tried to find a solution elsewhere, and full apologies in advance if it's a school-boy error on my part.

Thanks for your time on the project.
