How to use NUnit Test Adapter with NUnit 2.6.3

Question

I'm having this issue where I'm using NUnit 2.6.3 in my project, but after installing NUnit Test Adapter 1.0.0.0 (most recent version I can find) in Visual Studio Professional 2012, my tests still didn't show up in Test Explorer. I realized soon that the description of NUnit Test Adapter states that it is compatible with NUnit versions up to 2.6.2, but it turns out I'm using NUnit 2.6.3. Using NuGet, I can't find an older version of NUnit, and using Visual Studio's Extensions and Updates manager, I can't find a version of NUnit Test Adapter that supports 2.6.3.

Answer 1

It turns out I needed to instead add the package "NUnit TestAdapter including NUnit 2.6.2 framework" to my project. That fixed everything right up.

Answer 2

I just have the reverse issue: when using the nunit dll 2.6.3 my tests appears in the test explorer but fails for other issues, but when using the 2.6.2 dll, nothing appears.. I do not believe the issue with with your version based on this experience
