Hi Udhay,

Assuming NUnit 2.6.2...

nunit-console mytests.dll -run:My.Test.Fixture.SomeMethod

Hi Charlie,

                     

                        i tried to run like this. but it throws error "Unable to locate fixture Nunit.Tests.Installation"

                        C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.6\bin>nunit-console /fixture:Nunit.Tests.Installation PhoenixTestFixture.dll

                        How to mention specific testcases from testfixture also if multiple testfixture.

Thanks,

Udhay

As stated in my reply, I recommend you use the -run option, which has more
capabilities and more flexibility in use.

The -fixture option will do approximately the same thing if what you
want to do is
run all the tests in a given test fixture. Are you sure that
NUnit.Tests.Installation
is the name of a fixture fixture in your assembly?

Also, I notice you are running from the NUnit directory on the C: drive.
This implies that you have copied your test assembly to that directory,
which is a very strange thing to do.

If you like to work from the command line, put the NUnit bin directory
on your path and work within the directory containing your test assembly.

Hi Carlie,

                       Thanks, i will try with copying nunit bin directory to my test path. But i am unable to find the testfixture name. How to find it

Thanks,

Udhay

The testfixture name is the name if the class containing the test it usually will have the [testfixture] attribute above it

Don't copy the NUnit files to your test path~!!! Set the PATH environment variable

so that it includes the location of the NUnit files!

Looking at the screen image, It does not seem that you have anything named "NUnit.Tests.Installation" Was that just a name you invented as an example? From the tree display, it appears that you have a fixture named "KLATencor.Phoenix.TestFixtures.Installation.Installation"

Hi Charlie,

                               How to invoke selected Test cases alone in the nunit through cmd.

For Example:

From MHRegression -> Only "Automatic_A_AlignParameterAttack"  then Automatic_B_AMHSStatus

[Charlie Poole]

The nunit.exe program does not have any command-line options for selecting tests to run.

Hi,

           i am using like this,

D:

cd "D:\Share\Phoenix Automation\TestFramework\Automation\Phoenix Deliverables\Bin"

start nunit-console.exe PhoenixTestFixture.dll -run:KLATencor.Phoenix.TestFixtures.Installation.Installation,KLATencor.Phoenix.TestFixtures.MHRegression,KLATencor.TestAutomation

Is it possible to invoke the selected, it would be better to only run the given scenarios.

Thanks,

Udhay

Sorry, you appeared to be asking about nunit.exe, where this is not possible. It's definitely possible in nunit-console.

To specify any individual test, just give it's complete name after -run. For example:

  -run:KLATencor.Phoenix.TestFixtures.MHRegression.Automatic_A_AlignParameterAttack

Of course, as you add more tests, the command line becomes very long. You may want to look at use of -runlist, which allows you to specify a file that contains the names of the tests to run, one per line.
