test_runner changing working dir, Albacore::CommandNotFoundError - unable to find NUnit exe

[mobill]

I've tried rc12.

The problem is that Albacore is not finding the Nunit executable after the noted change of working directory (see Issue 109).

I understand your point about the test data location, but you're assuming that test data will be local to the test assembly. Forcing the working directory just isn't a good solution. It is hidden, unexpected behavior. It should be parameterized and under my control.

NOTE the results xml file specified in the command parameter, shown in issue 109, will now end up in a completely unknown location, assuming it's created at all.

Both rc11 and rc12 fail to find the Nunit executable because the working directory has been changed. rc11 seemingly didn't account for the working dir change at all. rc12 does a bunch of ../../..'s but apparently it isn't correct.

You need to post your configuration.

An alternative way of doing it is to have leave both exe and dll paths alone, and having a method #work_dir= that allows you to change it and 'take care of it yourself'.

[mobill]

sorry, not sure what you mean by configuration.

I'd be good with #work_dir.

[haf]

I mean what you have written in the rakefile.

[mobill]

namespace :test do
  desc "Runs all unit tests"
  test_runner :unit => [:build] do |nunit|
    run_tests :unit_test, nunit
  end
end

def run_tests(test_type, nunit)
  assemblies = []
  @application_definitions.each_pair do |name, config|
    assemblies << File.join(config[:build][:object_path], "#{config[:assembly]}.dll") if  config[:type] == test_type
  end

  configure_test assemblies, test_type, nunit
end

def configure_test(assemblies, test_type, nunit)
    nunit.exe = "Tools/NUnit.2.5.10.11092/nunit-console.exe"
    nunit.files = assemblies
    nunit.add_parameter "/xml=#{File.join(@temp_root, test_type.to_s + '_results.xml')}"
end

@haf Any idea on availability of #work_dir change? Thanks.

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #111
