[Bug 608596] [NEW] Assemblies with no tests are marked with an X

 

Public bug reported:

I have an NUnit project file which specifies some assemblies. Some of
these assemblies actually contain test fixtures and some do not. I need
these test-less assemblies in the project because they are a dependency
of some of my test assemblies (if I didn't include them explicitly in
the project file, the framework wouldn't find the correct version of
these assemblies).

In the GUI runner, I select the root (project) node in the test tree and
click "Run". Each assembly which doesn't have tests gets an "X" icon.
The "final" status of NUnit is still a success, though (the progress bar
stays green). I'm not sure what icon should be there instead - perhaps
none at all (stay gray) - but this "X" definitely isn't the right choice
(I think it's very confusing).

Another (unrelated) idea would be to hide these assemblies from the tree
altogether.
