Is there a free Visual Studio addin for Nunit?

Question

I'm cheap and don't want to pay for ReSharper or TestDriven.NET, is there a free visual Studio addin for NUnit?

Answer 1

You can create a blank project (Choose console application for example) and in the property of the project you can select DEBUG tag and select "Start External Program". Put the path of Nunit. Then, in the start option, the command line arguments select the DLL that contains all your tests (mine is always in the nunit\bin...). Then select "enable unmanaged code debugging" and you will be able to start the project inside VS and even use the debugger step-by-step.

This is a free solution.

Now you can use Gallio: it's open source. www.gallio.org

Answer 3

By the way TestDriven can be downloaded for free if it's for personal use or Open Source project.

I had to find a way to use .Net Reflector inside VS few days ago and when I downloaded TestDriven it cames with. Never got any popup asking me to paid.

Answer 4

NUnit actually ships with a basic integrated runner. It's not very good, and not very publicized, but unless Charlie has taken it out, it should be in the source.

Answer 5

I know this is an old question but another way to do this is to add an external tool from the tools menu to run nunit - set the arguments to be $(TargetName)$(TargetExt) and initial directory to $(ProjectDir)\bin\Debug

This is an old question and things have changed since the answer was accepted.

You may try NCrunch to run tests automatically or manually.

Answer 7

If you're running Visual Studio 2012, there is a plugin written by Charlie Poole, one of the NUnit contributers, that makes use of the new Visual Studio Unit testing plugins.

• Download VsTestAdapater - it's also in the extension manager.

Unfortunately it doesn't have much grouping options yet, either by run/not run - so you can't group by class, solution and so on. It also doesn't show you any stacktrace if a test fails, just a simple green tick or red box and a message.

I haven't used it, but NUnitit is a free Visual Studio Add-in for NUnit.

From my experience, the best add-in for visual studio is resharper. TestDriven.Net is also good for unit tests. Hope that helps

It is able to launch your tests in debugger, however you need to recompile the code manually each time you change something - no auto run-build integration
