Exclude assembly from NUnit runner

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the latest version of NUnit in that one of our testing framework binaries is being picked up as a test assembly. NUnit then throws an error with:

Errors and Failures
1) Invalid : C:\PATH_TO_ASSEMBLY\Test.Framework.dll
Has no TestFixtures

Our test setting is set to 'Auto'.

How do you discover binaries to feed in to the nunit test runner? Can I make use of the wildcard input to exclude this file? Or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks in advance.

   Hi Sam,

   • We use .NET reflection and consider all assemblies which has reference to nunit.framework, to be nunit test assemblies.

   • Currently we do not have setting to exclude setting to exclude specific assembly. You can do one of the following:

     • Enter full relative path to each assembly you want to run
     • Enter all assemblies file names you want to run without a path (AppVeyor will scan build folder to search them)
     • Wildcard. If you can come up with wildcard which match all assemblies you want to run and do not match this failed assembly, that's great, but again we have no exclude assembly settings for now.

   You can look at samples here

   Thank you,
   Ilya.

   Thanks Ilya, that helps a lot.

   Given that the TestFixtureAttribute is optional, I can just remove that from our base classes and remove the NUnit reference from the project.

   Thanks.

   Hi Sam,

   Exclude assemblies is implemented now if you are still interested - https://www.appveyor.com/docs/running-tests/#selecting-assemblies-a...
