[Chris Shaw <582051@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a few comments to add (apologies if I missed anyone else
mentioning these above...)

To quote Carlos S, "I am having the same problem with VS 2010, .NET 4.0,
NUnit 2.5.5.10112 on a 64 bit system."

My testing project worked fine under .NET 3.5, with NUnit 2.5, even on
this 64-bit machine.

After upgrading (.NET 4.0, NUnit 2.5.5), all seemed to be well at first,
and then NUnit could not find any tests.  The GUI seems permanently set
for .NET 2.0, even when I try to change it.  'nunit-console.exe' works
correctly for me when I use the /framework flag, though it did *not*
work without the flag, even on a 32-bit machine.

After reading through this bug (after trying various times to run my
tests), I checked my Task Manager, and found two entries each of 'nunit-
agent.exe' and nunit-agent-x86.exe' (I had closed NUnit itself earlier).
Once I killed all four of those processes, the NUnit GUI found my tests
again.

I hope this is some help to you -- you've made a great tool that I
depend on implicitly.

Thanks,
--Chris Shaw

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: In Progress

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.
