Use of <mbunit> in NAnt fails

Question

Hi Everyone,

I got stuck up when I tried to run the Unit Test written using mbunit from NAnt. when I tried this lines of code in NAntbuilder.

<mbunit 
    report-types="Html;Xml;Text"
    report-filename-format="${test_results.file}"
    report-output-directory="${test_results.directory}"
    halt-on-failure="true"
    failonerror="true">
  <assemblies>
    <include name="${build.directory}\*Test*dll" />
  </assemblies>
</mbunit >

I got an error message

BUILD FAILED

./.../mbunit.build(26,5):

Invalid element <mbunit>. Unknown task or datatype.

I have copied the mbunit.framework.dll, quickgraphalgorithm.dll,quickgraph.dll to NAnt's bin folder.

Could you please any of you help me out to run the mbunit test from NAnt.

Thanks in Advance,

Ganesh

Answer 1

This blog post about MbUnit & NAnt lists the assemblies you need to copy to the NAnt bin directory. As far as I can understand from your post you also need:

• MbUnit.Core.dll
• MbUnit.Tasks.dll

Answer 2

I'm using the latest Gallio framework to run mbUnit tests from Nant, but there's no MbUnit.Tasks.dll file in that package. There's a Gallio.NAntTasks.dll file, but Nant complains that there was a "Failure scanning Gallio.NAntTasks.dll for extensions. Unable to load one or more of the requested types."
