  1. POHow to collect NUnit reports with MSBuild?
    text
    copied!<p>I've recently introduced NUnit to a Visual Studio C# project. The project folder structure looks like</p> <pre><code>- project root -- applications (rich client interface, web interface, small tools) -- components (business logic) -- vendor (3rd party components) -- tests (Nunit tests) </code></pre> <p>For each Visual Studio project "MyProject" under applications or components there is a corresponding project under tests named "MyProject.Test". When I introduced the NUnit test, I put the following in each .Test.csproj file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Target Name="AfterBuild"&gt; &lt;CreateItem Include="$(TargetPath)"&gt; &lt;Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="MyProjectTests" /&gt; &lt;/CreateItem&gt; &lt;!-- Create folder for test results --&gt; &lt;MakeDir Directories="$(OutDir)\TestResults" /&gt; &lt;!-- Run tests--&gt; &lt;NUnit Assemblies="@(MyProjectTests)" ToolPath="..\vendor\NUnit\bin" OutputXmlFile=".\TestResults\MyProject.Test.Results.xml" WorkingDirectory="$(OutDir)" /&gt; &lt;!-- Create HTML report --&gt; &lt;Xslt Inputs="$(OutDir)\TestResults\MyProject.Test.Results.xml" Xsl="$(MSBuildCommunityTasksPath)\NUnitReport.xsl" RootTag="Root" Output="$(OutDir)\TestResults\MyProject.Test.Results.html" /&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; </code></pre> <p>This works fine, both when building solutions from within Visual Studio as well as on a build server with the MSBuild CLI.</p> <p>The remaining inconvenience of that approach is that it leaves me with the test reports in a TestResults folder in each test projects output folder, but with nothing in my solution's main output folder. So, my question is:</p> <p>What is the preferred way of collecting the resulting NUnit html reports in the solution's/startup project's output folder? What MSBuild instructions should I place in which .csproj file? I'm just getting started with MSBuild and I can't figure out the best practice...</p> <p>It has to work both in Visual Studio and with the MSBuild CLI, but that shouldn't be a problem, I guess.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
