NUnit addins: where to stick them so R# picks them up?

FWIW, based on some other posts here, I decided to try an alternate route.  I'm now trying to run R# tests via the Gallio system and its plugin for R#.  Gallio appears to have support for supplying NUnit add-ins to their NUnit plugin.

So now my challenge is to find a version of Gallio that works with R# 5.  The latest Gallio release as of this writing (3.1.397.0) doesn't support R# 5 (not surprisingly, as it was released in 2009).  Fortunately, Gallio releases nightly builds.  I tried nightly GallioBundle 3.2.442.0.  That has support for R# 5.

Unfortunately, and also not surprisingly, the nightly build is not stable.  I can't get it to load any of my nunit projects without failing on some internal Icarus exceptions.

The good news is, this does appear to be a viable path as soon as I can find a stable Gallio build with R# 5 support.  I post this so that hopefully you, the reader, have a solution by the time you get here :-)

Jetbrains folks: I've been using the Jetbrains dotCover EAP.  If I use the Gallio NUnit test runner support (instead of the jetbrains nunit support) for the nunit add-ins support, will I still be able to use the dotCover test code coverage on the nunit tests?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Todd Fiala

Hello,

AFAIK you should set up R#5 to use your own NUnit installation instead of
the build-in one in order to use NUnit plugins.

Thanks, Serge.  That sounds like exactly what I need.  Perhaps I missed where I can set the NUnit version that R# uses.  Can you indicte how to set the NUnit installation that R# 5 uses?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Todd Fiala

I just tried that so I could use the latest NUnit 2.5.5 and discovered that
ReSharper is is looking for the NUnit DLLs in %ProgramFiles%\NUnit
2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\lib. Looks like the layout may have changed because
nunit.framework.dll is in %ProgramFiles%\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\framework
and the others are in %ProgramFiles%\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\lib. Works fine
after I copied nunit.framework.* into the lib folder.

Hi Todd,

Could you help me to get the R# 5.0 / Gallio 3.2.445 combo working with VS 2005? I have installed VS 2005, then R#5, then Gallio with all the default settings in default locations:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
C:\Program Files\JetBrains\ReSharper\v5.0

C:\Program Files\Gallio\bin

I created a simple project in VS 2005 that references Gallio.dll and MbUnit.dll from the Gallio\bin folder.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using MbUnit.Framework;

namespace UnitTest
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class Class1
    {
        [Test]
        public void SimpleTest()
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Hello");
            Assert.AreEqual("test", "failed");
            
        }
    }
}

Unfortunately R# doesn't recognize my unit tests and displays an error message ("No test found in file"). I suspect that R# should be configured to recognize MbUnit / Gallio but Resharper/Plugins... menu doesn't have an Add / Browse  button) and Resharper / Options / Tools / Unit Testing mentions only MSTest and nUnit and doesn't allow to select something else. On the other side, the Gallio Control Panel doesn't mention any R# plugings and Icarus doesn't have them listed in the Plugins dialog.

I looked on the Internet but have found only very old threads on the Google code site. Would apreciate your help

With best regards,
Kirill

Hello Kirill,

In case ReSharper > Plugins window is empty, there's some problem with Gallio
plug-in for ReSharper which is required to run the MbUnit tests. Do you have
a Gallio folder under C:\Program Files\JetBrains\ReSharper\v5.0\Bin\Plugins?
Thank you!

Hello Andrey,

As you suspected, I do not have a Plugins folder in my Resharper\bin. I have tried to "Repair" R# installation, but it hasn't created a Pluging folder. I have to try to install Gallio 3.2.442 that worked fror Todd. For time being what should be in this folder? I searched in my Gallio\bin folder and havent found any "Resharper" text in DLLs or XML files. What do you have in your Plugin folder?

Thank you for a quick reply.

Kirill

Andrey,

I downloaded a ZIP file for the same version of Gallio and copied files from the bin\Resharper\5.0 to the JetBrains\Resharper\5.0\bin\Plugins\Gallio. After that Resharper has recognized MbUnit framework and everything worked fine. Thank you for the clue.

Hello,

There're unit-test-provider-specific options in addition to R# unit testing
options. To see them, select a unit test provider in the list.

What's the path you specify in R# options? Is it  %ProgramFiles%\NUnit 2.5.5\bin\net-2.0\framework,
or just %ProgramFiles%\NUnit 2.5.5?

Hello,

The Plugins folder is not created by the R# installer. It could be created
by plugin installers (if installed per-machine), or otherwise plugins could
install to AppData locations (per-user).
