Tests fail to run with weird error
While running my test suite, right after tests, I see this:
Tests run: 158, Errors: 0, Failures: 0, Inconclusive: 0, Time: 20.4127565 seconds

My code does not reference this assembly anywhere, why is it being required here?

Hi Mauricio,
This assembly might be referenced indirectly.
nunit-editor.exeis "NUnit project manager". I've never used it, but guess it's not related to tests execution.Replace AppVeyor tests autodiscovery with test script and add separate
nunit-console.execall for each assembly found to see which one causing troubles.2 Posted by linhares.mauric... on 10 Mar, 2015 01:29 PM
And how do I disable it?
Haven´t found docs on how to do it.

You can switch test mode to Script on Test tab of project settings or put
test_scriptin appveyor.yml (if you use it for config). Put nunit-console for each assembly:4 Posted by linhares.mauric... on 20 Mar, 2015 01:12 PM
Yeah, just disabled it and now I'm running the tests from my nant build itself, thanks!
