NUnit debugging a single test

Question

I use NUnit plugin from ReSharper. I can't find any way of debugging a single test. The BUG button always launches all the tests, even when I launch the debug specifically from one test method.

I'm trying to reach a breakpoint with one specific test and I don't want to reach it with the other tests.

Do you know any way of doing this? Google didn't help me on this one...

Example of my test code

[Test]
public void IsValidDoer_DoerValid()
{
    var mockRepositoryDoer = new Mock<IDoerRepository>();
    mockRepositoryDoer.Setup(c => c.ActiveDoers).Returns(activeDoers.AsQueryable);

    var doerValidation = new DoerValidation(mockRepositoryDoer.Object);

    Assert.IsTrue(dModel.IncludedDoers.Any());
}

[Test]
public void IsValidDoer_DoerInvalidNoQuota()
{
    var mockRepositoryDoer = new Mock<IDoerRepository>();
    var activeDoers = listDoers.ToList();
    activeDoers.First().QuotaActivity.Clear();
    mockRepositoryDoer.Setup(c => c.ActiveDoers).Returns(activeDoers.AsQueryable);

    var doerValidation = new DoerValidation(mockRepositoryDoer.Object);

    Assert.IsFalse(dModel.IncludedDoers.Any());
}

please post your test code I need to see how the tests are structured. — krystan honour
I'm just calling the same method with the same entity. I test different values for the properties of the entity that is used in the method. It could probably be put in the same test too though. I edit with some code — Mathieu
Just installed the latest version of resharper and all the other things and this behaviour seems to have changed! You can debug only 1 test, and cover doesn't make my tests fail any more, tests that normally pass in normal mode but used to fail with cover for some very strange reason... — Seb

Yes Alongside the code is a green and yellow mark just click this and click run it will run that single test. You just left click it once you will get options and depending on what you also have installed from Jetbrains you could launch code coverage from here too.

You can also choose to append it to an already existing session of other tests or create it in a session all on its own.

Resharper test

Clarification:

Someone downvoted this so I went back and took a look and tested it both for MSTEST and NUnit. it is true it is not desirable to execute the 15 tests if you only wish to debug one. The test was conducted in visual studio 2015 with Resharper 10 and visual studio 2013 with Resharper 8. If you click on the mark in the individual test file it will indeed only run the code once.

If you run multiple tests and get a test session in Resharper's runner with three tests it will, on right click, show "debug tests", however if you only select one it only runs one test and so only hitting the code only once.
