Hi Charlie,

I did not go so deep in consideration but I was wanted just "simple" option of nunit-console to list all test cases with its input parameters as they would be showed in GUI runner. That means before unit tests even run! - just to read all test cases from some test assembly, filtered by selected cathegory(like in GUI runner). So for example it could be: nunit-console.exe milans_test.dll /Category: Testable.
If the cathegory is set to "Testable", than just unit cases under such cathegory should be listed. I usually have 2 cathegories "Testable" and "Untestable". 
Listing could be also usefull after test cases have run, but for that case I do not have clear "requirements".

Br,
Milan.

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Incomplete

Bug description:
Hi all, 

in order to integrate NUnit better in the existing solution it would be good that 
by using NUnit(GUI or command line version) over a given Test.exe (where all 
necessery test tags/unit tests are allready compiled) to retreive list 
of all Unit test names together with its argumens.
 
In particular case one have Test.exe which is written in order to test some 
library Library.dll and now by using command line one call 
NUNit over the Test.exe and to get back list of all Unit tests which are 
ready to be tested. Also one could as command line argument submit which 
test class or which cathegory is imjortant so that list of the returned tests is filtered.

Once the list of all Unit test cases is present (it can be displayed in some other 
industry integrated tool) tester can decide what test case will be executed by calling 
again using command line specific Unit test. It would be also very good that every test 
has its testresult file, having everything in one file makes problem in accessing only 
important test and it is not in accordance with other HW/SW test tool where every test
has its testresult file.

Br, 
Milan.
