Question

NUnit in Finalbuilder: How can I provide a path to nunit-console without the finalbuilder option

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can do this in the BeforeAction script event (javaScript) :

var nunitOptions = GetOptionsObject("NUnit")
nunitOptions.NUnitLocation = FBVariables.MYUNITPATH

where MYUNITPATH is a FinalBuilder Project variable that points to nunit. Note that you should avoid relative paths for this since they are not fully supported due to the multithreaded nature of FB.

Nice! That looks pretty slick--I'll give it a shot. I'm confused about the unsupportedness of relative paths due to multithreadedness though; I wouldn't normally correlate those two things. How do they conflict?

Interesting. The event you suggest works lke a charm! However, if the NUnitLocation path is not set prior to executing the script, the script fails validation and never starts.

Windows typically uses the current directory of an application to resolve relative paths. FinalBuilder is multi-threaded, so there is no guarantee of what the current directory will be. You might want to contact support or post on our forums, lots of FinalBuilder specific stuff there.

Oh, validation is optional, you can turn it off.. it's really just designed to help beginners get their build process and environment configured.

ps. don't forget to accept my answer thx.

Hmm. I guess what I don't get is that single or multi-threaded, the application directory wouldn't change, would it? Also, on your mention I found the validation configuration in the options. Is there a way to disable validation per action or just for the entire project?

The issue is that if multiple threads are running and are trying to resolve a relative path, they may be trying to resolve it relative to different base directories, the usual trick is to set the current directory and then call GetFullPathName : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364963%28VS.85%29.aspx

You cannot disable validation for single actions, it's a global setting.
