NUnit Console & Engine 3.15 - February 10, 2022

Final Release of NUnit ConsoleRunner 3.15.0. No changes from the beta1 Release.

Version 3.15.0 is expected to be the final release in the 3.x series.

NUnit Console & Engine 3.15 Beta 1 - February 6, 2022

Beta release of version 3.15.0 of the Console Runner. Both the standard runner and the dotnet CLI command are now able to run tests under .Net 6.0.

While this doesn't impact users directly, it will allow us to speed up the introduction of new features in coming releases.

  • 1090 Test of --debug-agent option fails under linux Debug configuration

NUnit Console & Engine 3.13 - November 30, 2021

This is the first release of the NUnit Console Runner, nunit3-console.exe, which allows running of both .NET Framework and .NET Core tests, either separately or in combination. The nunit3-console.exe runner executes under the .NET Framework but is able to launch .NET Core agents and communicate with them over a TCP connection.

A second major feature in this release is engine support for preemptive cancellation when the normal approach of requesting the test run to self-terminate doesn't work. This is an engine feature, available to any runners supporting cancellation.

NUnit Console & Engine 3.12 - January 17, 2021

.NET Core NUnit Console 3.12 Beta 2 - January 17, 2021

This release contains various improvements to running tests on .NET Core and Mono, and changes to extension loading logic to allow the Engine to better support extensions which target multiple platforms. There are additionally a number of fixes to issues that were identified with 3.12 Beta 1. Please also be aware that this will be the last version of the NUnit Engine to support .NET Standard 1.6.

The .NET Core Console remains in Beta due to some unresolved dependency loading and framework targeting issues - contributions to fix these issues would be very welcome!

Code contributions in this release were included from Charlie Poole, Chris Maddock, Christian Bay, Eberhard Beilharz, Ed Ball, Joseph Musser, Manohar Singh, Mattias Cavigelli and Mikkel Nylander Bundgaard. Thank you to all those who contributed both in code, and otherwise.

Please note the below list includes only issues resolved between 3.12.0 Beta 1 and the final release. For those upgrading from 3.11.1 or earlier, please also see the Beta release notes.

  • 511 [Build] Improve detection of installed .NET Core Runtimes
  • 718 Eliminate use of Mono.Cecil
  • 810 Build NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore as a .NET Core Tool.

NUnit Console & Engine 3.12 Beta 1 - August 1, 2020

This is the first beta release of the NUnit Console able to run .NET Core Tests. In addition to this, this release also contains a number of bug fixes, improvements when running on Mono and significant refactoring work towards the goal of creating an engine able to run tests on a wider range of .NET platforms.

We're particularly interested in this beta release being tested by users of the .NET Core console and users running tests on Mono. Please feedback any issues to the nunit-console repository.

The .NET Core Console is a separate executable to the original version, and can be found in either the .zip file download, or the new NUnit.ConsoleRunner.NetCore NuGet package. Our longer-term aim is to create a single console which is able to run both .NET Core and .NET Framework tests.

Code contributions in this release were included from Charlie Poole, Chris Maddock, Christian Bay, Eberhard Beilharz, Joseph Musser, Manohar Singh and Mikkel Nylander Bundgaard. Thank you to all those who contributed both in code, and other ways!

NUnit Console 3.10 - March 24, 2019

This release merges the .NET Standard version of the engine back into the nunit.engine NuGet package and adds a .NET Standard 2.0 version of the engine that re-enables most services and extensions. This deprecates the nunit.engine.netstandard NuGet package. Any test runners using the old .NET Standard version of the engine should switch to this release.

The --params command line option which took multiple test parameters separated by a semicolon is now deprecated in favor of the new --testparam command line option. One of the most common uses for test parameters was to pass connection strings into tests but this required workarounds to handle the semicolons. Now you must pass in each test parameter separately using a --testparam or --tp option for each.

Issues Resolved

  • 8 TempResourceFile.Dispose causes run to hang
  • 23 In nunit3-console you cannot pass parameters containing ';' because they always get split

NUnit Console 3.9 - September 5, 2018

This release should stop the dreaded SocketException problem on shutdown. The console also no longer returns -5 when AppDomains fail to unload at the end of a test run. These fixes should make CI runs much more stable and predictable.

For developers working on the NUnit Console and Engine project, Visual Studio 2017 update 5 or newer is now required to compile on the command line. This does not effect developers using NUnit or the NUnit Console, both of which support building and running your tests in any IDE and on any .NET Framework back to .NET 2.0.
